Gravity is one major force that creates tides. Our sun is 27 million times larger than our moon. Based on its mass, the sun’s gravitational attraction to the Earth is more than 177 times greater than that of the moon to the Earth.

Explanation:  

High and low tides are caused by the Moon.

The Moon's gravitational pull induces something called the tidal force.

The tidal force causes Earth—and its water—to bulge out on its nearest and furthest sides from the Moon.

The Moon is responsible for high and low tides.

What usually impacts agriculture production and consumption
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

Desertification, nutrients in the soil, access to water, tools made for agriculture, location, climate, water pollution, the production of the food product, etc.

Explanation:

There are many factors that contribute in the decision making of food choices and the growth and production of food. In able to have a productive farm, some farmers choose to use many workers, some choose to use large tools, like tractors and irrigation systems. If there is not enough water getting to the farm, in some places like California, they will make a system or transport the water to the farm. Climate and weather also play a big role. If the climate does not supply the right resources to the plants, they will not be able to grow properly. Some climates are able to grow certain plants better than in other regions. The process of the food production affects how some make their food choices. For example, some people dislike how animals are treated and cared for before they are used for meat. Then, these people make the decision to not eat meat at all or from some companies that mistreat their animals. When their is water pollution near-by farms, farmers will struggle to grow their crops. When chemicals, from these polluted water sources, travel through the soil to the farms, the crops die or are harmed. In places like Africa, with dry climates, they use one plot of land for growing crops, then move to another plot the next year, because the nutrients from that plot were used all up for growing those plants. Sometimes, they even burn the weeds and shrubs after the harvest because it provides the soil with nutrients. This method is called slash and burn.

Latin Americans have created different elevation zones to describe the climates that they live in. Which of the following patter
Paul [167]

Answer:

D. tierra caliente, tierra templada, tierra fria, tierra helada.

Explanation:

The Latin American region has its own unique names for the elevation zones based on the climate. The lowest of them is the tierra caliente, characterized with lowlands and hills covered with dense tropical forests, and hot weather. The tierra caliente is the second, located between 1,000 and 2,000 meters, being still part of the tropical climate, but being cooler and more pleasant, which is why there are lot of big cities on this elevation. The tierra fria is located further up, up to 3,000 meters, and it is colder, dominated with grasslands, and the living conditions are not the best. The top elevation zone is the tierra helada, located in the highest parts of the Andes, being dominated by barren mountain slopes, strong winds, and cold climate.
