E.6.1.1 - Seasons and Tides 2022 Test Review

What effect does this arrangement have on the tidal range?

• The tide is larger than normal because the gravitational forces of the sun and moon pull in the same direction.

• The tide is larger than normal because the gravitational forces of the sun and moon pull in opposite directions.

• The tide is smaller than normal because the gravitational forces of the sun and moon pull in the same direction.

• The tide is smaller than normal because the gravitational forces of the sun and moon pull in opposite directions.

Why would the spring tide produce a stronger tide than the neap tide?

• The change of seasons would make the tide stronger.

• The gravitational pull of the sun is added to the gravitational pull of

  the moon in a spring tide.

• The gravitational pull of the sun overpowers the gravitational pull of

  the moon in a spring tide.

• The gravitational pull of the moon overpowers the gravitational pull of

  the sun in a spring tide.
