Which model correctly represents a Spring Tide?
Which tide would be better to surf if the wind was right?
Which tide would be better to surf if the wind was right?
Neap tide because the tide is much higher and will create stronger waves.
Spring tide because the tide is much higher and will create stronger waves.
Neap tide because the tide is much lower and will create stronger waves.
Spring tide because the tide is much lower and will create stronger waves.
Why do the outer planets have more moons than the inner planets?
Because the outer planets have a greater mass it means their gravitational pull is stronger, which allows them to attract more moons and other objects in orbit.
Because the inner planets have a greater mass it means their gravitational pull is stronger, which allows them to attract more moons and other objects in orbit.
Because the outer planets have a lesser mass it means their gravitational pull is weaker, which allows them to attract more moons and other objects in orbit.
Because the inner planets have a lesser mass it means their gravitational pull is weaker, which allows them to attract more moons and other objects in orbit.
