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

Why are felsic lava flows so much more viscous than mafic ones?
ira [324]

Answer:

Magma are the hot molten materials that rises up towards the surface due to the increasing force from the depth. These magma when comes out to the surface then they are considered as lava.

The felsic lava are those in which the amount of silica and aluminium is very high. Due to this high silica content, the viscosity is high. The amount of silica present in magma or lava is directly proportional to the viscosity of magma or lava. The felsic lava due to its high viscosity flows sluggishly.

Whereas, the basic lava are those in which the silica content is significantly less. Iron (Fe) and Magnesium (Mg) is mostly present in this type of lava. As a result of which it flows easily without any difficulty.

This is the reason why felsic magma (lava) are more viscous compared to the mafic magma (lava).
