At both new and full moons (lunar phases) the tides are most pronounced (for example, the highest high tides).

Answer from: willcohen42

At both new and full moons

Explanation:

Depending on the position of the two stars in relation to our planet, the tides have different behaviors. This is where the lunar phases come in. When the earth, moon and sun are aligned - or, as astronomers say, in opposition or conjunction - the gravitational pull of the latter two adds up, amplifying their effect on the sea mass.

NEW MOON: When the Earth, the Moon, and the Sun align, the gravitational pull exerted by the two stars on the oceans adds to each other, generating sea currents that cause maximum sea level elevation toward this line. It is the time of the highest tides, called tides of sizigia or maximum

FULL MOON: About two weeks after the New Moon, our satellite travels back to a position where it aligns with the sun and the earth. This combination brings a new wave of high tides. In Santos beaches, the sea level can rise around 1 meter in this period

Mantle convection is the process that drives plate tectonics. the theory of plate tectonics states that the crust is divided into plates that float on the semi molten mantle below. the circular motion of the magma as it slowly rises and falls or move though convection cells drags the plates along causing them to move. the heat source in the lamp would represent the earth's core. the core is the source of energy that drives convection in the mantle. the lava represents molten magma under the earth's surface. if the lava lamp had floating pieces they would move as the circular motion of the lava in the lamp as it rises and falls would move them along the surface. these floating pieces would represent pieces of the earth's crust.

In a right-angled triangle: 1- the hypotenuse is the longest side2- we can apply pythagorean rule which states that: (hypotenuse)^2 = (side1)^2 + (side2)^2for the given triangle,longest side is 15 cm side1 = 9 cmside2 is 12 cm to check whether the triangle is right-angled or not,compare (15)^2 to the summation of (9)^2 and (12)^in other words, compare 225 to the summation of 81 and 144if they are both equal, then the triangle is right-angles, otherwise, it is not.you haven't provided the diagram showing her work, so i cannot tell the choice. however, apply my explanation to the question you have.
