Tides
The diagram illustrates the effect of the Moon's and the Sun's gravity on Earth. What type of tide is happening at point X in the diagram?
1 answer
At point X, the gravitational pull of the Moon and the Sun are aligned, resulting in a spring tide. This occurs when the gravitational force of the Moon and the Sun are combined, leading to higher high tides and lower low tides.
