What causes a sublunar tide?
A. None of these
B. The moon is on the opposite side of the Earth as the sun, and their opposing gravities mostly cancel out, resulting in a low tide.
C. The moon's gravity accelerates the Earth towards the moon, pulling the solid mass away from the water on the other side.
D. It is caused directly by the moon’s gravity pulling the water on the side of Earth closest to the moon.

Sagot :

The oppositional gravitational force of the moon pulls the water on the side furthest from itself. Thus, option "D" is correct.

How the moon and, to some degree, the sun cause tides on the earth?

The moon and sun exert a gravitational pull on the earth.

The moon pulls strongest on the ocean water on the same side, lesser on the solid earth, and the least on ocean water on the opposite side of the earth.

The pull creates tidal bulges that are the earth’s high tides. Low tides occur at the halfway point between the bulges.

Thus, option "D" is correct.
