Answer:

The tides are controlled by the Moon's gravitational pull.

Explanation:

An ocean motion that is controlled by the Moon's gravitational pull is the tides. The tides occur because the Moon manages to pull the water on Earth's surface toward it, so the water level gets higher on the side of Earth that's facing the Moon and on the opposite side. The water on the sides of Earth doesn't get pulled, but because the water is pulled toward the other sides, the water there retracts and the water level drops.

The tides vary in their levels, depending on the intensity of the gravitational pull from the Moon. This results in extremely high tides and extremely low tides in some parts of the month, or in very small high and low tides in other parts of the month. The tides have good and bad aspects about them, and humans have tried their best to use the good sides of them in full.

sammy [17]


The best answer is reduction in acid rain.

Acid rain is rainfall which has been rendered acidic by pollutants  in the atmosphere.  This kind of rain is typically harmful to  forests and lakes.

The main cause of acid rain is human activities. The burning of fossil fuels such coal in electrical generating plants and crude oil products such as gasoline and diesel in car engine  releases  sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxide into the atmosphere.

These compounds mix with water very high up in the atmosphere and form acid pollutants which  fall on the ground as acid rain.

 Use of clean energy will eliminate burning of fossil fuels and thus no acid rain will be produced.

If three seismic stations have the following P–S intervals: DUG = 57 sec, WUAZ = 73 sec, ISCO = 14 sec, what is the order from c
iragen [17]

Answer:

ISCO-DUG-WUAZ

Explanation:

Seismic waves of an earthquakes is recorded first in the station closest to the earthquake. The P wave is the faster moving wave and then the S wave. The faster the time it takes the P and S waves to register in the seismographer the closer the station to the site of the earthquake. Bearing this in mind, the wave was first registered in ISCO making it closest to the earthquake site, followed by DUG and then WAUZ.

ISCO (14sec)-DUG (57sec)-WUAZ (73sec)
