Tides are periodic movements of the great masses of water on our planet as part of the gravitational attraction exerted by the moon and the sun on Earth.

In this sense, there are two very special cases: The Spring and Neap tides.

<u>Spring tides </u>

Occur when there is a full moon or new moon, which makes the <u>tides higher.</u> During these lunar phases, the Moon, the Earth and the Sun are aligned and the gravitational attraction power is greater.

<u>Neap tides </u>

Occur when the moon, the earth and the sun form a right angle ( $90\º$ ), being the gravity attraction on the masses of water the minimum. This happens in the crescent and wanning phases.

Which of the following scale is the largest?

Gwar [14]

Answer:

1 : 25,000 is the largest scale.

Explanation:

1 cm represents 2 km; is not correct because this is actually the smallest of the scales presented, meaning that 1 cm on the map is equal to 200,000 cm on the ground.

1 : 50,000; is not correct because this is the second-largest scale from the options.

1 : 25,000; is correct because it is the largest scale, with 1 cm on the map representing 25,000 cm on the ground. The smaller the scale, the larger it is.

1 : 100,000; is not correct because it is the third-largest, with 1 cm on the map representing 100,000 cm on the ground.
