(SC.6.P.13.2) The ocean tides on Earth are caused by the gravitational attraction between Earth, the moon and to a much lesser extent, the sun. Look closely at the illustration below, which shows the moon orbiting the Earth to consider only the moon’s effect on Earth’s tides. What will happen when the moon is nearest the Earth?
The tides will be higher.
The ocean waves will be smaller.
The tides will be lower.
The sea level will remain constant
