DOL -6.9B Tides Day 2

Based on the Moon's orbital path

shown in the diagram, how often does the Moon's position cause spring tides on Earth?

• Spring tides would occur when the Moon is at positions 2 and 4.

• Spring tides would occur when the Moon is at positions 1 and 2.

• Spring tides would occur when the Moon is at all four positions.

• Spring tides would occur when the Moon is at positions 1 and 3.

Look at models A, B, C and D of the sun, moon and Earth. Which statement references

the correct model and accurately explains how neap tides occur?

• Model A accurately shows neap tides because the gravitational forces of the moon and

  sun pull in the same direction.

• Model B accurately shows neap tides because the gravitational forces of the moon and

  sun pull at a right angle to each other.

• Model C accurately shows neap tides because the gravitational forces of the moon and

  sun pull in the same direction.
