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.

what sequence represents the correct order of events for production of the necessary complex molecules after food is taken in by
leonid [27]
Digestion, Absorption, Circulation, Diffusion, Synthesis. 

Digestion begins as soon as you put food in your mouth and begin chewing it, so it is the first step. Absorption happens when food is converted into substances that can be absorbed by your GI tract. Circulation is where those nutrients are circulated in your lymphatic and circulatory system (blood). Diffusion moves oxygen through your blood stream where it gets diffused. S<span>ynthesis converts nutrients that have been diffused and absorbed in your blood. </span>
