A student states that during a new Moon, the tides are very low, and during a full Moon, tides are very high. The teacher says that the student's statement is not completely correct. Which of these best explains the effect of the moon phase on tides?
Group of answer choices

During both a new Moon and a full Moon, the Moon's gravitational force is low, causing the high tides to be lower than usual.

During both a new Moon and a full Moon, the gravity of the Moon and the Sun are in a straight line, causing the high tides to be higher and the low tides to be lower than usual.

During both a first-quarter Moon and a third-quarter Moon, the gravity of the Moon and the Sun are in a straight line, causing the high tides to be higher and the low tides to be lower than usual.

During both a first-quarter Moon and a third-quarter Moon, the Moon's gravitational force is high, causing the low tides to be lower than usual.

Answer:

B. During both a new Moon and a full Moon, the gravity of the Moon and the Sun are in a straight line, causing the high tides to be higher and the low tides to be lower than usual. I think

Explanation:

High and low tides are caused by the Moon. The Moon's gravitational pull generates something called the tidal force. The tidal force causes Earth—and its water—to bulge out on the side closest to the Moon and the side farthest from the Moon. These bulges of water are high tides.

Based on scientific explanation, the statement that best explains the effect of the moon phase on tides is:

"During both a new Moon and a full moon, the gravity of the Moon and the Sun are in a straight line, causing the high tides to be higher and the low tides to be lower than usual."

  • This is evident because the Moon and the Sun's gravitational forces develop tidal swells on oceans.

  • This phenomenon is generally called Spring tides.

Hence, in this case, the correct answer is option B.
