Tides occur in the oceans and seas due to which among the following ? 1. Gravitational force of the Sun 2. Gravitational force of the Moon 3. Centrifugal force of the Earth Select the correct answer using the code given below. Correct Answer 1, 2, 3

The correct answer is 1,2,3.

Key Points

  • Tides are the rise and fall of sea levels caused by the combined effects of the gravitational forces exerted by the Moon and the Sun and the rotation of the Earth.
  • The Moon's pull is the major cause of a tide. Hence statement 2 is correct.
  • Sun's gravitational pull and centrifugal force due to the gravitational pull of the earth to a lesser extent so caused types. Hence statements 1and 3 are correct.
  • The tide-generating force is the difference between the gravitational attraction of the Moon and the centrifugal force.
  • The movement of water is caused by Meteorological effects like winds and atmospheric pressure change and is known as surges.
  • An object traveling in a circle behaves as if it is experiencing an outward force. This force is known as centrifugal force. Water on sea experiences this force due to the rotation of the earth.
  • The moon and the sun’s gravity try to pull at anything on the Earth to bring it closer.
  • Tides also occur in large lakes, the atmosphere, and within the solid crust of the earth, acted upon by these same gravitational forces of the moon and sun.

Which among the following option is correct with respect to tides? 1. Spring tides occur when the sun, the moon and the earth are in a straight line. 2. Neap tides occur when the sun and moon are at right angles to each other.
The question below consists of a set of labelled sentences. Out of the four given options, select the most logical order of the sentences to form a coherent paragraph. P- Such a scenario allows for it to have a profound influence on the tides of our oceans, which in turn serves to slow earth’s rotation and hurl the moon further away from us. Q- The gravitational attraction of the moon is also the stabilising factor in a celestial battle between the large bodies of the solar system to throw the planet’s axial obliquity off-balance.  R- The bulk of the moon’s responsibility for impacting upon the planet lies with its gravitation and proximity to the earth. S- The very fact that the moon is here in the first place tells of how fortunate the impact that formed it was. Were it not for that humble collision over 4.5 billion years ago, life on earth would be vastly different today.
Consider the following statements Spring tides occur when the sun, the moon, and the earth are in a straight line. Neap tides occur when the sun and moon are at right angles to each other. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
The moon looks blood red during a total lunar eclipse because some of the sunlight passes through Earth’s atmosphere to reach the moon. As the white light breaks up while passing through the atmosphere, most of its blue-colored wavelengths are absorbed and scattered. The remaining red wavelengths light up the moon in blood-red color. Which of the following statements do not support the assertion of the above-given statement? I: The moon looks blood red during a total lunar eclipse as the white light breaks up due to the Earth's atmosphere where most of its red-colored wavelengths are absorbed. II: The moon looks blood red during a total lunar eclipse as the earth blocks the white light to travel to the moon.

In the following question, sentences of a paragraph have been jumbled and labelled as A, B, C and D. You are required to rearrange the jumbled sentences of the paragraph and mark your response accordingly by selecting the correct option. A: A tsunami is a series of waves in a water body caused by the displacement of a large volume of water, generally in an ocean or a large lake. B: Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and other underwater explosion above or below water all have the potential to generate a tsunami. C: Unlike normal ocean waves, which are generated by wind, or tides, which are generated by the gravitational pull of the Moon and the Sun, a tsunami is generated by the displacement of water. D: Thus, tsunami can not be attributed to gravitational pull of the moon or the sun.
