For a month, a student observed the tides at a local beach. The student recorded the heights of the high and low tides relative to the average water level. Some of the readings are shown in the table.
Reading Relative Height
of High Tide (m) Relative Height
of Low Tide (m)
1 4.5 -1.3
2 1.1 0.5
3 2.0 0.2
4 3.4 -0.7

According to the data provided, Reading 4 with a relative height of 3.4 meters for the high tide and -0.7 meters for the low tide is most likely to have been recorded when the Moon was closest to Earth.

At point X in the diagram, high tide is occurring.
Which statement best explains how the Moon causes tides?(1 point)
Responses
When the Moon is over an ocean beach or harbor at night, the tide in that place forms a high tide and it creates a low tide when the Moon is not visible during the day.

A full moon causes high tides, a new moon causes low tides, and other phases of the Moon cause tides that rise and fall.

The pull of the Moon's gravity causes ocean water to bulge out, and the tidal bulge moves around the world as the Earth rotates and the Moon orbits Earth.
The pull of the Moon's gravity causes ocean water to bulge out, and the tidal bulge moves around the world as the Earth rotates and the Moon orbits Earth.
The force of the Moon's gravity pulls ocean water along a beach or harbor into a high tide for a few hours and then lets it drop to a low tide.
