Spring tides occur when the Earth, sun and moon are aligned. Despite its name spring tides have nothing to do with the Spring season. It was derived from the concept of "springing-forth" . They occur at twice each lunar month, bringing higher tides during high tide and lower tides during low tide.

When the sun, moon, and Earth are in alignment (at the time of the new or fullmoon), the solar tide has an additive effect on the lunar tide, creating extra-high hightides, and very low, low tides — both commonly called spring tides.

What are some of the benefits humans receive from altering their environment? Write your answer in a paragraph of at least five

Stella [2.4K]

From altering the environment humans receive the benefit of multiple resources, such as wood which they receive from cutting down trees. Deforestation gives humans the benefit of having more land accessible for the public, as trees taken down by deforestation allows for humans to build public locations such as parks, and provides land for houses to be built on. Overall, altering the environment gives humans the benefit of having more resources, along with land that they are able to use for housing and livestock farms, which once again provide more resources for the public.

AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

Compared to the valley, the ridge is relatively wet and cool.

Explanation:

The ridge is relatively wet and cool in comparison with the valley. Due to the mountains that surround the valley, the cool air does not enter the valley. This makes the valley hotter in contrast with the ridge. Also, it makes the ridge wet owing to the pressure and the low temperature that the air has.
