how do tides differ from waves and gravity?
a) tides are surface tension.
b) tides are reliant on a centrifugal force.
c) tides are created from drag friction.
d) tides are driven by the gravitational pull of the sun and the moon.

Explanation:

Tides are the periodic rise and fall of sea - levels caused by the gravitational forces exerted by the sun and the moon on the Earth's oceans. Waves are mainly caused by wind - generated forces on the water surface, and gravity is a fundamental force acting on all objects. Tides are distinct as they are due to the gravitational pull of celestial bodies.

Answer:

D. Tides are driven by the gravitational pull of the sun and the moon.
