Geography
1 answer:
melisa1 [442]3 years ago
7 0

The correct answer is - two high tides and two low tides.

The high tides and the low tides occur because of the effect of the gravitational pull of the Moon on the water bodies on the Earth. The gravitational pull from the Moon is pulling the waters toward it, resulting in moving of the water from the sides of the planet (compared to the position of the Moon) toward the side where the Moon is, and on the total opposite side of the planet. The high tide occurs when the gravitational pull of the Moon is the strongest, and it occurs on both sides of the planet, the two total opposite places, while in the same time, the sides of the planet experience low tides. As the Moon moves around the Earth, when it reaches the total opposite sides, it causes another high tide and low tide on the same places, resulting in two high tides, and two low tides during a single day.

The transhumance and the nomadic ranching may seem very similar, but they are not and they have one very big important difference between them. The transhumance ranching is the type of ranching where the ranchers are moving their livestock seasonally. That usually happens twice a year. The movement occurs when the season change. It is driven by the climate, and it can be when there's wet and dry season, or warm and cold season, and the movement can be vertical, from the mountains toward the lowlands and vice versa, or horizontal, toward places with more suitable weather conditions at that period. The The nomadic ranching, on the other side, is a type of ranching where the livestock is moved constantly, almost on a daily or weekly basis. This type of ranching is driven by the amount of food sources at a particular place. The nomads keep their livestock at a particular spot depending on how much food there is available, which usually is in low amount, so they are in constant movement for new grazing lands.
