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".
If the forces are equal, at a distance equidistant it is not possible to act a pair on the body since both torques cancel each other. Being of the same magnitude and in the opposite direction, the sum of the torques will be zero.
Answer:
variations in great horned owl body size due to food supply can be acted on by natural selection.
Explanation:
Natural selection can help select great horned owl with smaller body size since it's an advantage in a place with smaller available food sources, compared to a bigger body size that will need more food. At first, birds with smaller body survive while those bigger ones die out, and the smaller birds pass on this genes to their offspring.
Answer:
variation in body size due to inherited traits can be acted on by natural selection
Explanation :
Variations in body size in body size due to inherited trait can be acted upon by natural selection by favoring the size that is best suited for the survival of the species. Those with these genes survive and pass it on to their offspring, while those with the unfavorable body size are wiped out.
