Q: The tides in the sea are primarily due to
  • A. the atmospheric effect of the Earth
  • B. the gravitional effect of Venus on the Earth
  • C. the gravitional effect of the sun on the Earth
  • D. the gravitional effect of the Moon on the Earth
Correct Answer: Option D - The process of rising of sea water up to a height and returning back is called tide. This process not only affects ocean and sea but off course makes impact on everybody which follows the law of gravitation. The gravitational force of earth, moon and sun result in the formation of tides. But indeed moon is somewhat more closer to earth that 's why it is taken as main responsible factor for genesis of tides.
