At both new and full moons (lunar phases) the tides are most pronounced (for example, the highest high tides).

Answer:

At both new and full moons

Explanation:

    Depending on the position of the two stars in relation to our planet, the tides have different behaviors. This is where the lunar phases come in. When the earth, moon and sun are aligned - or, as astronomers say, in opposition or conjunction - the gravitational pull of the latter two adds up, amplifying their effect on the sea mass.

    NEW MOON: When the Earth, the Moon, and the Sun align, the gravitational pull exerted by the two stars on the oceans adds to each other, generating sea currents that cause maximum sea level elevation toward this line. It is the time of the highest tides, called tides of sizigia or maximum

    FULL MOON: About two weeks after the New Moon, our satellite travels back to a position where it aligns with the sun and the earth. This combination brings a new wave of high tides. In Santos beaches, the sea level can rise around 1 meter in this period

Briefly explain how physical weathering enhances the rate (speed) of chemical weathering?
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

Physical weathering enhances the rate of chemical weathering .

Explanation:

Physical weathering is the breaking down of rocks by various processes like freezing and thawing without altering the rocks chemical composition.

While, chemical weathering involves the disintegration and dissolution of rocks by the chemical processes like oxidation , carbonation and solution processes etc.

Generally a fractured rock can easily be weathered by chemical agents rather than a normal fractured rock.

So ,

when a rock is already subjected to physical weathering, the rock will develop cracks on it and when the chemical agents comes in contact with that rock, the chemical solution will penetrate into those cracks and will dissolve the rocks at a rapid rate.

Which expressions can be used to find the coordinates of the midpoint of PQ with endpoints P(3, –1) and Q(–7, –6)? Select THREE
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

A line segment is a straight line with finite length, and thus, have to endpoints(points on either end). The correct options are 2, 3, and 5.

<h3>What are the coordinates of the midpoint of the line segment AB?</h3>

A line segment is a straight line with finite length, and thus, have to endpoints(points on either end).

Suppose we've two endpoints of a line segment as A(p,q), and B(m,n), Then let the midpoint be M(x,y) on that line segment. Then, its coordinates are:

x = \dfrac{p+m}{2}

and

y = \dfrac{q+n}{2}

The midpoint of the points P(3, –1) and Q(–7, –6) is,

x = (-7+3)/2 = -4/2 = -2

y = (-6-1)/2 = -7/2 = -3.5

Now, if we look at the options, the third option will give as the value of the x-coordinate as,

[(1/2)(-7-3)] + 3

= [(1/2)(-10)] + 3

= -5 + 3

= -2

This is the actual coordinate of the midpoint, therefore, this option is correct.

Similarly, the option two expresses the y-coordinate of the midpoint,

(-1 - 6)/2 = -3.5

Also, option five correctly depicts the value of y-coordinate,

-(5/2)-1 = -2.5 - 1 = -3.5

Hence, the correct options are 2, 3, and 5.
