How are low tides made?

when there is no land directly beneth the buldge

why does the weight of an object change when moved to a different place

because the gravity is different

tides are a buldge in the water

How are high tides made?

made by a peice of earth directly below the buldge

by the side of the earth facing away from the sun

Why does the earth orbit the sun?

because the suns gravitational pull

what makes a spring tide?

when the earth, moon and sun are all in a line

How is the season 'summer' made?

hemesphire tilted towards the sun

How are tides created?

by the gravtational pull of the moon

How are seasons caused?

by the tilting on its axis in its orbit around the sun

Which order are the phases of the moon?

new moon, first quarter, full moon, third quarter

How is 'winter' made?

hemesphere tilted away from sun

what makes a neap tide?

when the earth, moon and sun are in a 90 degree angle

How is day and night made?

by the earth turning on its axis

Why is gravity less on the moon compared to earth?

because the moon is smaller, because the moon has less mass

Answers

1
How are low tides made?
when there is no land directly beneth the buldge
when there is a full moon
by there being a peice of land directly beneath the buldge
when there is a new moon
2
why does the weight of an object change when moved to a different place
because the mass changes
because the particles in the object dissolve
because the gravity is different
3
What are tides?
tides are big waves
tides are a buldge in the water
4
How are high tides made?
when the suns gravity pulls the water towards it
made by a peice of earth directly below the buldge
when there isnt a peice of land directly below the buldge
when the waves are higher than normal
5
how is night made?
by the side of the earth facing away from the sun
by the side of the earth facing the sun
6
Why does the earth orbit the sun?
because the heat is like a magnet
because the mass is like a magnet
because space acts strangley
because the suns gravitational pull
7
what makes a spring tide?
when the planets are in a line
when the earth and moon are in line
when the earth, moon and sun are in a 90 degree angle
when the earth, moon and sun are all in a line

false
true
11
How are tides created?
by the suns heat
by the gravtational pull of the moon
by the gravitational pull of jupiter
by the gravitational pull of the sun
12
How are seasons caused?
by the tilting on its axis in its orbit around the sun
by the earth orbiting the moon

new moon, full moon, third quarter, third quarter
16
How is 'winter' made?
hemespere tilted towards sun
hemesphere tilted away from sun
17
how do you find out the weight of something?
mass + gravity
mass - gravity
mass x gravity
mass + matter
18
what makes a neap tide?
when the earth and stars are in a line
when the earth, moon and are in a line
when all the planets are in a line
when the earth, moon and sun are in a 90 degree angle
19
How is day and night made?
by the city turning off all the lights
by the moon orbiting the earth
by the sun orbiting the earth
by the earth turning on its axis
20
Why is gravity less on the moon compared to earth?
because the moon is lighter
because the moon is smaller
because the moon has less mass
because the moon is heavier
21
