<h2>Answer: They are extra-high tides and extra-low tides.</h2>

Explanation:

Tides are periodic movements of the great masses of water on our planet as part of the gravitational attraction exerted by the moon and the sun on Earth.

In this sense, there are two very special cases: The Spring and Neap tides.

Spring tides

Occur when there is a full moon or new moon, which makes the tides higher. During these lunar phases, the Moon, the Earth and the Sun are aligned and the gravitational attraction power is greater.

Neap tides

Occur when the moon, the earth and the sun form a right angle ( $90\º$ ), being the gravity attraction on the masses of water the minimum. This happens in the crescent and wanning phases.

10. Sulfur dioxide emitted from power plants eventually causes acid rain in the atmosphere. Which term best describes acid rain?

ElenaW [278]

A primary pollutant is an air pollutant emitted directly from a source.

A secondary pollutant is not directly emitted as such, but forms when other pollutants (primary pollutants) react in the atmosphere.

Examples of a secondary pollutant include ozone, which is formed when hydrocarbons (HC) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) combine in the presence of sunlight; NO2, which is formed as NO combines with oxygen in the air; and acid rain, which is formed when sulfur dioxide or nitrogen oxides react with water.

Hope this helps:)
