Why does the moons gravitational pole influence tides more than the suns gravitational pool

Biology
1 answer:
vesna_86 [32]3 years ago
5 0

The ocean tides on earth are caused by both the moon's gravity and the sun's gravity. In general, ocean tides are not generated by the overall strength of gravity, but instead by the differences in gravity from one spot to the next (the gravitational gradient). Even though the sun is much more massive and therefore has stronger overall gravity than the moon, the moon is closer to the earth so that its gravitational gradient is stronger than that of the sun. Because ocean tides are the effect of ocean water responding to a gravitational gradient, the moon plays a larger role in creating tides than does the sun. But the sun's gravitational gradient across the earth is significant and it does contribute to tides as well.

True or False. In order for a dead organism to become a fossil, it is not important
UNO [17]
False, because most organisms decompose fairly quickly after they die. For an organism to be fossilized, the remains usually need to be covered by sediment soon after death. hope this helps :))

You disrupt all hydrogen bonds in a protein. what level of structure will be preserved? primary structure secondary structure te
arlik [135]

The protein structures can be classified into four levels, namely the primary structure, secondary structure, tertiary structure, and quaternary structure. The primary structure is the simplest  of all the structures. When all the hydrogen bonds are disrupted, the secondary, tertiary and the quaternary structures gets disrupted, which leads the protein to the most simplest structural form, that is the primary structure. In this structure, the a carbon atom is bonded to hydrogen atom, carboxyl group, amino group, and an 'R' group.

Studies reveal that ventilation drifts upward during constant-load submaximal exercise performed in a hot and humid environment.
Rina8888 [55]
<span>The answer would be; a significant increase in blood temperature.

The muscle contraction from exercise will produce heat that will increase the body temperature. In a hot and humid condition, this will make the body temperature hard to be lowered. The increase of blood temperature will influence the respiratory control center, makes the respiration drift upward.</span>
