I searched it up and what i got was:
The Moon's gravity pulls more on the planet than the water on the opposite side. These two water bulges on opposite sides of the Earth aligned with the Moon are the high tides. Since ocean water is pulled higher in the areas of the two high tides, there is less water in between the two high tides.

Answer:

The moon

Explanation:

Since the Moon is a relatively large object in space that is very close to the Earth, its gravity actually pulls Earth’s water towards it. Wherever the moon is, as it orbits the Earth, there is a high tide ‘bulge’ that stays lined up with the Moon. The sun also plays a a role in this since it has a gravitational pull much greator than the moon but due to it being much farther away, it causes tides only half as strong as the ones from the moon.

Do all the days of the year have the same amount of daylight? yes or no how?
Ket [755]

Answer:

No

Explanation:

Atmospheric refraction raises the sun about 1/2 degrees upward in our sky at both sunrise and sunset. This advances the time of actual sunrise, while delaying the time of actual sunset. This gives several minutes of extra daylight, not just at an equinox.

WHY IS A FOSSIL FOUND IN MULTIPLE LAYERS OF ROCK (TIME PERIODS) NOT CONSIDERED A RELIABLE INDEX FOSSIL?
Sati [7]

Certain fossils, called index fossils, help geologists match rock layers. To be useful as an index fossil, a fossil must be widely distributed and represent a type of organism that existed for a brief time period. Index fossils are useful because they tell the relative ages of the rock layers in which they occur.
