Question
based on the diagram below, which 2 positions on earth will experience high tides? earth moon d b a c
Brief Explanations
Tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the Moon (and the Sun). The side of the Earth closest to the Moon (position C) experiences a high - tide due to the strong gravitational pull. On the opposite side (position A), there is also a high - tide. This is because the Earth is being pulled towards the Moon while the water on the far side "lags behind" due to inertia.
