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.

Scientists believe that earth and the other plants formed
topjm [15]

The correct answer is - from solar nebula.

The Earth and the other planets in the Solar System are thought to have formed from solar nebula. This solar nebula is believed to have been a left over from the Sun's formation, being consisted of gas and dust in a disc-shape. The material in this disc-shaped gas and dust started to merge gradually, thus little by little forming bigger and bigger objects, and as the objects were getting bigger they had bigger gravitational pull so more and more material was attracted toward them. Because of the very big gravitational pull of the Sun these objects were not able to wander into the space but were instead kept close to the Sun. Because of the orbiting around the Sun, they all started to take a rounded shape. Some planets as the Earth, Venus, Mars, and Mercury became terrestrial planets, while the likes of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune became gas giants.
