Which of the following would happen if Earth's moon were half the size that it is now? O The oceans' tidal variations would be smaller because the Moon would exert less gravitational pull on Earth's oceans. O The oceans' tidal variations would be greater because the Moon would exert less gravitational pull on Earth's oceans. O The oceans' tidal variations would be greater because the Moon would exert more gravitational pull on Earth's oceans. The oceans' tidal variations would be smaller because the Moon would exert more gravitational pull on Earth's oceans. & Previous​

A. The oceans‘ tidal would be smaller because the moon would exert less gravitational pull on earths oceans.

Explanation:

i got it right :)

a. energy is absorbed in the reaction.

if in a given reaction the energy of products is greater than the energy of reactants it means that reaction is endothermic and during the reaction, the energy is absorbed by reactants. in an endothermic reaction, the products have more stored chemical energy than the reactants. and in this reaction the reactants are more stable than products before the compounds with less energy are always more stable.
