The correct answer is D) When the Sun, Earth, and Moon are in a line.

Tides in Earth's Oceans are the highest when the Sun, Earth, and Moon are in a line.

As we all know, it is the moon that influences the level of the sea and affects the formation of tides in the ocean. But you know what, the Sun also influences the formation of tides. Not as much as the moon but the sun indeed exert some influence. But when the Sun, Earth, and Moon are in a line during a full moon or new moon, it is when the combination creates the highest tides. Scientists call this phenomenon "spring tides."

What is the force that drives the Wisconsin river?
grandymaker [24]
The Wisconsin River originates in the forests of the North Woods Lake District of northern Wisconsin, in Lac Vieux Desert near the border of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. It flows south across the glacial plain of central Wisconsin, passing through Wausau, Stevens Point, and Wisconsin Rapids. In southern Wisconsin it encounters the terminal moraine formed during the last ice age, where it forms the Dells of the Wisconsin River. North of Madison at Portage, the river turns to the west, flowing through Wisconsin's hilly Western Upland and joining the Mississippi approximately 3 miles (4.8 km) south of Prairie du Chien.
