QUESTIONS 1—Í1

Tides are a natural phenomenon involving the alternating rise and fall in the large fluid bodies of the earth caused by the gravitational attraction of the sun and moon The

combination of these two variable forces produces the complex recurrent cycle of the

tides Tides may occur in both oceans and seas, to a limited extent in large lakes, the

5 atmosphere, and, to a very minute degree, in the earth itself The period between

succeeding tides varies as the result of many factors

The tide-generating force represents the difference between the centrifugal force produced by the revolution of the earth around the center-of-gravity of the earth-moon

system and the gravitational attraction of the moon acting upon the earth’s waters

10 Although the moon is only 238,852 miles from the earth, compared with the sun’s much

greater distance of 92,956,000 miles, the moon’s closer distance outranks its much smaller

mass, and thus the moon’s tide—raising force is more than twice that of the sun

The effect of the tide-generating forces of the moon and sun acting along the earth’s surface tends to cause a maximum accumulation of the waters of the oceans at two

15 _ opposite positions on the earth’s surface and to withdraw compensating amounts of

water from all points 90 degrees away from these tidal bulges As the earth rotates, a

sequence of two high tides, separated by two low tides, is produced each day

Twice in each lunar month, when the sun, moon, and earth are directly aligned,

with the moon between the earth and the sun (at new moon) or on the opposite side of

20 the earth from the sun (at full moon), the sun and the moon exert their gravitational force

in an additive fashion Higher high tides and lower low tides are produced These are

called spring tides At two positions 90 degrees in between, the gravitational forces of

the moon and sun tend to counteract each other These are called neap tides

The actual range of tide in the waters of the open ocean may amount to only one

25 or two feet However, along the narrow channel of the Bay of Fundy in Nova Scotia, the

difference between high and low tides may reach more than 43 feet under spring tide

conditions At New Orleans, the periodic rise and fall of the tide varies with the state of

the Mississippi River, being about ten inches at low stage and zero at high In every case,

actual high or low tide can vary considerably from the average, due to weather conditions

30 such as strong winds, abrupt barometric pressure changes, or prolonged periods of

extreme high or low pressure

1 The passage supports all of the following 2 The phrase “these two variable forces”

statements EXCEPT in line 3 refers to

(AD high tides occur everywhere on Earth CA) high and low tides

at the same time the alternating rise and fall

tides are largely the result of the Cc) the gravity of the moon and sun

moon’s gravity oceans and seas

tides occur in all of Earth’s large

bodies of water

©) the distance between high and low

tides varies throughout the year
