Question

question 15
if the moon were closer to the earth, high tides would
occur three or more times a day rather than twice a day
be higher than they are now
be lower than they are now

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the Moon on the Earth's oceans. The closer the Moon is to the Earth, the stronger the gravitational force. A stronger gravitational force would result in higher high - tides. The frequency of tides is mainly determined by the rotation of the Earth and the orbit of the Moon, not by the distance between them.

Answer:

be higher than they are now
