The data table above contains information about high and low tides for a particular location. The data in this table best supports which of the following conclusions?

• The difference between high and low tides is greatest during a new or full moon.

• The high and low tides are always exactly the same during first and third quarter moons.

• The highest high and lowest low tides usually happen a few days after we see a full moon.

• High tides get gradually higher and low tides get gradually lower throughout the lunar cycle.

What moon phases occur with spring tides?

• New moon and first quarter
• First and third quarter
• New and full moon
• Full moon and third quarter

What type of tide is represented in the picture?

• Neap tide because of the tidal bulges
• Spring tide because the sun and moon are working together pulling on Earth.
• Spring tide because of where the Earth is in its orbit.
• Neap tide because the sun and moon provide opposite forces on the Earth.

Which pair of objects has the greatest force of gravity between them? 

• The top pair because they are farther apart.
• The bottom pair because they are closer together.
• The top pair because they are moving fast.
• The bottom pair because they are moving slow.

Which type of tide is represented in the picture?

• Neap because the sun and moon are working opposite each other.

• Neap because of the tidal bulges.

• Spring because the sun and moon are lined up and working together.

• Spring because that is where the Earth is its orbit.

Why does the moon have a greater effect on Earth's tides than the sun?

• It is closer.

• It is bigger.

• The Sun has a greater effect.
