Question

1. which arrangement of the sun, the moon, and earth results in the highest high tides, and the lowest low tides on earth? (diagrams are not drawn to scale.)

Explanation:

When the Sun, Moon, and Earth are aligned (either in a straight line with the Moon between the Sun and Earth or the Earth between the Sun and Moon), the gravitational forces of the Sun and Moon combine. This combination leads to the highest high - tides (spring tides) and the lowest low - tides. In option A, the Sun (S), Moon (M), and Earth (E) are in a straight line.

Answer:

A.
