Answer:
Option D, only on the portion of the Earth facing directly toward the Moon
Explanation:
Tides are caused by the gravitational pull of moon. The part of earth that faces the moon experiences the highest gravitational force and hence the high tides will occur in this regions only. The regions that do not faces the moon experiences low tides. It is the gravity of moon that attracts the ocean water towards itself.
Hence, Option D is correct
That was a lucky pick.
Twice each each lunar month, all year long, whenever the Moon,
Earth and Sun are aligned, the gravitational pull of the sun adds
to that of the moon causing maximum tides.
This is the setup at both New Moon and Full Moon. It doesn't matter
whether the Sun and Moon are both on the same side of the Earth,
or one on each side. As long as all three bodies are lined up, we
get the biggest tides.
These are called "spring tides", when there is the greatest difference
between high and low tide.
At First Quarter and Third Quarter, when the sun, Earth, and Moon form a
right angle, there is the least difference between high and low tide. Then
they're called "neap tides".
Answer: A
Explanation:Earthquakes occur on faults - strike-slip earthquakes occur on strike-slip faults, normal earthquakes occur on normal faults, and thrust earthquakes occur on thrust or reverse faults. When an earthquake occurs on one of these faults, the rock on one side of the fault slips with respect to the other.
