Answer:

Tides would become weaker.

Explanation:

The tides are caused due to the force of gravity exerted by the moon on the earth which causes the water to bulge out towards the direction of the moon.

Since the gravitational force decreases with an increase in the distance between the two objects, increasing the distance between the moon and earth would lead to a decrease in the force of gravity and hence the tides would become weaker.

Olenka [21]

Answer:

She could time how long it takes for each amount of salt dissolves in the waters. (as well as keep each amount of salt the same if she was not doing that already.)

Explanation:

This way, she could observe which water is best for dissolving solvents and which is most affective in the shortest amount of time. If she was not timing how long it takes for salt to dissolve in different temperatures of water, then the experiment may as well have been useless unless there is somehow a different objective.

son4ous [18]

The answer is (A. A warm current flows along the coast.) Currents carry cold and warm water from place to place. It's an amazing phenomenon that scientists are still trying to fully figure out.  Some think it's caused by wind, others think it's caused by the shifting of the tectonic plates, but one thing's for sure, currents are VITAL for this planets life.
