<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.

<u>Spring tides </u>

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

<u>Neap tides </u>

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.

Index fossils can provide information on the environment at the time they were deposited. True False

Anettt [7]

Answer: True

Explanation:

The index fossil are the fossils that are of animals and plants that remained preserved in the rock of the earth. It describes the particular span of the geological time or the environment. An index fossil can be easily recognized, is widely distributed and abundant.

The index fossil is the basis for defining the boundaries of the geological time scale with the correlation of the strata.

Those organisms which exhibited the short vertical range that is the life span on earth and the wide lateral range that is geographic distribution can be included as index fossil.

These fossils are indicative of the environment in which the organism used to live.

A triangle has angle measures of 27°, 39°, and xº. Use the Triangle Sum Theorem to find the value of xº.

Sav [38]

Answer:

114 degrees

Explanation:

Because when you add 27 and 39 together you get 66. And the interior of a triangle equals 180 so now you must subtract the 66 from 180. And once you do that you get 114 degrees.
