Question

look at the image. which statement explains what would most likely happen if the moon were closer to earth? the tides would disappear. the tides would be lower. the tides would be higher

Explanation:

Tides are mainly caused by the gravitational pull of the moon on Earth's oceans. According to the law of universal gravitation, the closer two objects are, the stronger the gravitational force between them. So if the moon were closer to Earth, its gravitational pull on the oceans would increase, leading to higher tides.

Answer:

The tides would be higher
