Question

1. the diagram below represents earth and the moon as viewed from above the north pole. points a, b, c and d are locations on earths surface. (not drawn to scale) according to the diagram, where will high ocean tides and low ocean tides most likely be located? a) high tides at a and b; low tides at c and d b) high tides at b and d; low tides at a and c c) high tides at c and d; low tides at a and b d) high tides at a and c; low tides at b and d 13. a cycle of moon phases can be seen from earth because the a) moon spins on its axis b) moons axis is tilted c) moons distance from earth changes at a predictable rate d) moon revolves around earth

Explanation:

12.

High tides occur on the sides of the Earth directly facing and opposite the Moon due to gravitational pull. In the diagram, points \(A\) (opposite) and \(C\) (facing) would experience high tides. Low tides occur at \(90^{\circ}\) to the line connecting Earth and Moon, so \(B\) and \(D\) have low tides.

The Moon's phases are seen because as it revolves around Earth, different portions of its sun - lit side are visible from Earth. Spinning on its axis (\(A\)) causes day - night on the Moon, axis tilt (\(B\)) affects seasons on planets (not Moon phases here), and distance change (\(C\)) affects apparent size (not phases).

Answer:

D. high tides at \(A\) and \(C\); low tides at \(B\) and \(D\)
