Question

Which points on the diagram would have high tides?

Question 12 options:

B and D


D and C


A and B


A and C

Answer 1

Answer: A and C

B and D is incorrect because these are not the closest sides of the moon. B and D would have low tide, not high tide. If the moon were positioned above B or D, then both B and D would have high tides.

D and C is incorrect because the moon pulls the closest and furthest sides into high tide. Only C would have high tide, D on the other hand would be low tide.

A and B is incorrect because the moon pulls the closest and furthest. B would not have a high tide because of it's position; it would have a low tide.

A and C is correct because the moon uses it's tidal force to pull the tide on the furthest and closest sides of the moon, and A and C are the furthest and closest sides.

Answer 2

The points on the diagram which represents the high tides are A and C, as these are present on the furthest & closest position with respect to the moon.

What are high tides?

High tides occur in those seas and oceans which are placed closest and furthest with respect to the position of the moon.

• In the given figure sides A & C are placed furthest and closest to the moon respectively, that's why points A & C shows the high tides.
• In the B & D sides, low tides will occur because these points are not present to the closest or furthest side.
• In A & B sides only A side shows the high tide, but B shows the low tides.
• In D & C, only C side shows the high tide, but D shows the low tides.

Hence sides A & C shows the high tides.
