The tide-generating force is inversely proportional to the cube of the distance. - Answer True



There is no horizontal tide-generating force on Earth at points directly below and opposite the Moon. -
Answer True



The barycenter follows: - Answer a smooth orbit around the Sun.



The difference between centripetal forces and gravitational forces is called the: - Answer resultant
force.



tA

If the resultant force has a significant horizontal component (tangential to Earth's surface), it produces
tidal bulges on Earth, creating what are known as: - Answer tide-generating forces



A lunar day is: - Answer 24 hours and 50 minutes in duration.



Measurable tidal bulges occur in __________. - Answer the ocean, the atmosphere, and Earth's crust



Of the following statements about the force of gravity between two bodies, which is/are true? - Answer
*The force of gravity between two bodies decreases as distance increases.

*The force of gravity between two bodies increases with an increase in mass.

*The force of gravity between two bodies is most affected by a change in distance.



Of the following statements about the tides, which is/are true? - Answer The tides are caused by an
imbalance between the centripetal force and the gravitational force of the Moon and the Sun.

Although we observe the tides coming in and going out, in reality, Earth is rotating into and out of
various tidal bulges, which produces changing tides.

, There are two tidal bulges on Earth caused by the Moon: one facing the Moon, and the other facing
away from the Moon.

Both Earth and the Moon orbit around their common center of mass, called the barycenter.



Of the following statements about the contribution of the Sun and the Moon to Earth's tides, which
is/are true? - Answer The lunar tidal bulges are about twice the size of the solar tidal bulges.

The Sun's contribution to the tides is less than that of the Moon.

The Moon exerts over twice the gravitational pull of the Sun on Earth's tides because of its proximity to
Earth.



If it is January and the Moon is in syzygy, what additional factor would contribute to extreme tidal ranges
around the world? - Answer the Moon in perigee



A spring tide occurs once per month. - Answer False



Syzygy produces maximum tides once every 1,600 years if the relative positions of the Sun to the Earth
and the Moon to the Earth are just right. - Answer True



The plane through the ellipse that marks the revolution of the Earth around the Sun is called the ecliptic.
- Answer True



The vertical difference between consecutive high and low tides is called the: - Answer tidal range.



Spring tide occurs about: - Answer twice per month.



Neap tides occur: - Answer when the moon is in quadrature.



When the Earth is at its greatest distance from the sun, it is said to b - Answer aphelion



Please identify the word and/or phrase that does NOT fit the pattern.

A. aphelion
