  • Q4
    How does the gravitational pull of the Moon affect ocean tides on Earth?
    It only affects the side of Earth facing the Moon.
    It creates bulges in the ocean on the side facing the Moon and the opposite side.
    It reduces the strength of tides on Earth.
    It only affects the northern hemisphere of Earth.

  • Q6
    What effect does the alignment of the Earth, Moon, and Sun have on ocean tides?
    It causes tides to stop completely.
    It reduces the height of waves, leading to calm seas.
    It results in equalized tides across all oceans.
    It leads to higher high tides and lower low tides, known as spring tides.

  • Q8
    What is the primary reason for the occurrence of daily high and low tides on Earth?
    The Earth’s tilt on its axis.
    The rotation of the Earth and the gravitational pull of the Moon.
    The changing distance between the Earth and the Sun.
    The rotation speed of the Earth slowing down occasionally.

  • Q9
    Why do spring tides result in the highest and lowest tides?
    Because there are more hours of daylight during spring tides.
    Because the gravitational forces of the Moon and Sun align and combine.
    Because spring tides occur at the equator.
    Because the Earth is closer to the Moon during spring tides.

  • Q10
    Which configuration of the Earth, Moon, and Sun results in the smallest difference between high and low tides?
    When the Moon is at its closest point to Earth.
    When the Moon is in its first or third quarter.
    When the Moon is full.
    When the Moon is new.
