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.

Rasek [7]

Answer:

Saint-Domingue (Haiti) was prosperous because of revenue earned from sugar.

Explanation:

When the Europeans came to Haiti, the native people lived in a simple way and were relatively isolated from their surroundings, let alone the world. The Europeans though thought that this place has big potential, especially in farming. What the Europeans had on mind was to create large plantations with sugar cane, thus produce sugar and make a profit out of it.

While the Europeans were not many in number, and the native population was decimated, a lot of African slaves were brought as a labor force for the plantations. The wet tropical climate enabled high-scale production of sugar cane, and with sugar becoming increasingly popular and being paid well for, the Europeans earned a lot from the trade. Haiti actually became a very prosperous island, and that was strictly down to the production of sugar cane and sugar from it.
