hello your question is incomplete below is the complete question
Sheila lives in the seashore community of Beachview. At 6:00 a.m. one morning, she noticed that the local ocean water was at high tide. At approximately noon that same day, she noticed the water was at low tide.
Which of the following describes what caused the change in tides between 6:00 a.m. and noon that day
options :
A)The Earth revolved approximately 90° around the Sun, and the gravitational attraction between the Moon and Sun increased.
B)The Earth completed one full rotation (360°), and the gravitational attraction between the Moon and the Beachview area increased.
C)The Earth completed one full revolution around the Sun (360°), and the gravitational attraction between the Moon and Sun decreased.
D)The Earth rotated approximately 90°, and the gravitational attraction between the Moon and the Beachview area decreased.
answer :
The Earth rotated approximately 90°, and the gravitational attraction between the Moon and the Beachview area decreased. ( D )
Explanation:
The movement of the Earth in the Galaxy occurs in two ways
namely: Rotation and Revolution and each movement comes has an effect on the earth, also each movement has a time frame as well.
The complete rotation of the earth about its axis takes about 24 hours and this rotation brings about Night and day and it also causes the rise and fall of tides. while the Revolution of the earth round brings about different seasons and it takes about 365 days for a complete revolution of the earth round the sun.
hence the the change in tides between 6:00 a.m. and noon that day is caused by The Earth rotating approximately 90°, and the gravitational attraction between the Moon and the Beachview area decreased.
