Answer

Brief Explanations:

  1. The moon phases progress from new - moon (completely dark as seen from Earth), waxing crescent, first - quarter, waxing gibbous, full - moon, waning gibbous, last - quarter, waning crescent back to new - moon. Option B shows this correct order.
  2. It takes approximately two weeks for the moon to go from full - moon phase to new - moon phase. The moon's cycle from new - moon to new - moon is about 29.5 days, so half of that cycle (from full - moon to new - moon) is around two weeks.
  3. When the Sun, Moon, and Earth are in a straight line (syzygy), spring tides occur. Spring tides have the greatest difference between high and low water.

Answer:

  1. B.
  2. C. two weeks
  3. A. Spring tide: greatest difference between high and low water
