Image of the sun, moon, and Earth in a straight line. An oval is around Earth that points toward and away from the moon to show the tidal bulges.

A) The gravitational pull of the sun and moon combined create larger than normal tides.
B) The gravitational pull of the sun and moon combined create moderate tides.
C) The gravitational pull of the sun creates low tides.
D) The gravitational pull of the moon creates high tides.

Answer 1

I took this quiz, and I picked B, but B is not the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm not sure what the answer is but I have a feeling that the person above is correct, so just don't pick B. hope that helps :)

Answer 2

The answer would be A) The gravitational pull of the sun and moon combined create larger than normal tides.

The gravitational pull of the sun and the moon influence tides. When the sun and the moon align, they create the highest tides because of their combined gravitational pull. The sides facing the sun and the opposite end would experience the highest tides. The areas perpendicular to alignment on the other hand will experience the lowest tides.
