Answer:
The ocean tides on earth are caused by both the moon's gravity and the sun's gravity. ... 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.
Between noon and 2 pm, the amount of water in the rain gauge decreased.
This can be caused by evaporation, which turns water into water vapor.
Precipitation would increase the amount of rain water in the gauges, not decrease it.
Condensation occurs after evaporation but wouldn't decrease the water in the gauges by itself.
Runoff is when water on land drains into water sources such as lakes, rivers, oceans, etc.
So the answer is A. evaporation.
Answer:
C. The forces are balanced.
Explanation:
Every answer other than C means the object moved.
Answer:
<em>a) below the observed position</em>
<em>b) directly at the observed position</em>
<em></em>
Explanation:
If I'm standing on the bank of a stream, and I wish to spear a fish swimming in the water out in front of me, I would aim below the observed fish to make a direct hit. This is because the phenomenon of refraction of light in water causes the light coming from the fish is refract away from the normal as it passes into the air and into my eyes.
If I'm to zap the fish with a taser, I would aim directly at the observed fish because the laser (a form of concentrated light waves) will refract into the water, taking the same path the light from the fish took to get to my eyes.
