1. Moon tides or lunar tides are caused by the pull of gravity between the moon and earth. The moon will exert a gravitational pull on earth and the earth also pulls the moon towards itself. The results is that the moon is near the earth and formation of oceans tide. Even though the earth can hold any object within its proximity, the ocean is partly attracted due to its liquid property. At night, the ocean tends to be attracted to the moon by creating a bulge and assigning it as ‘high tide’. This is due to the strong gravitational pull of the moon to the earth.

2. The gravitational pull of the earth differs in different locations.

prisoha [69]

Answer:

Existing rocks join together under high heat and pressure.

Explanation:

There are three major groups of rocks, igneous rocks, metamorphic rocks, and sedimentary rocks. Each of them has their own unique way in which they form. The igneous rocks are the basis for the formation of the other two, and they form from magma/lava that has cooled off. The metamorphic rocks form from preexisting rocks, where deep into the crust they experience high pressure and temperatures and change their properties. Sedimentary rocks form from the breaking apart from the previous two types of rocks, and later merging together under the right conditions.

The metamorphic rocks can have igneous, sedimentary, or mixed origin. In order for these rocks to form they need to be deep into the crust where the pressure and temperatures are much higher. The high pressure and temperatures lead to the merging of different types of rcoks, change their properties, and create a new type of rock. This is one of the reasons why the metamorphic rocks often have multiple colors and they are alligned like layers.
