READING (3.)
Read the passage and do as required Tides
Sometimes, water covers most of the beach. Other times, the water recedes. The beach is then wider; we call this movement of the ocean water “tides.” High tide is when the water comes in and covers the beach. Low tide is when the water goes out.
The sun and the moon cause tides to rise and fall. Each has a force that pulls the earth. This force is called gravity. The moon has a strong gravitational pull on the earth because it is so near. The sun has a gravitational pull because of its great weight. The moon’s pull is twice as strong as the sun.
The pull of the moon is greatest on the side of the earth nearest it. It is least on the side furthest away. Oceans flow toward the stronger pull. So, low tides will occur on the side of the planet furthest from the moon. High tides will occur at the same time on the opposite side.
Sometimes, the gravity of the sun and moon both pull the earth in conjunction. Then, tides are higher than normal. We call these “spring tides.” Other times, the sun and the moon pull at 90-degree angles to each other. Then, tides are unusually low. We call them “neap tides”.
Part 1: Decide whether the following statements are True or False
Tides are the movement of the ocean water coming in and going out of the beach.
The earth makes tides to rise and fall.

Part 2: Answer the following questions
When will low tides occur?
Why does the moon have gravitational pull on earth?
Is the moon’s pull as strong as the sun?
What are “spring tides?”
