Question

how would tides be affected if the moon were significantly farther from earth?
tides would be stronger
tides would be weaker
tides would occur more frequently
tides would stop completely

Explanation:

Tides are caused mainly by the gravitational pull of the Moon on Earth's oceans. According to the law of universal gravitation, the gravitational force is inversely - proportional to the square of the distance between two objects. So, if the Moon were farther from Earth, the gravitational pull would decrease, resulting in weaker tides.

Answer:

Tides would be weaker
