Which best describes how wedge basins form? A. When two plates move apart, the weaker part of Earth’s crust moves down at normal faults where sediments are deposited until a basin forms.
B. At the area where two bent plates slide past each other, a depression forms where sediments are deposited.
C. When two plates collide, the non-subducting plate scrapes the subducting plate and forms a depression where sediments gather.
D. At the area of a depression between two plates, sediments continue to get deposited and become compacted.

the tides are influenced by both the moon and the sun, it's easy to see that when the sun lines up with the moon and the earth, as during a new moon or full moon, the tidal effect is increased. these are known as spring tides, named not for the season, but for the fact that the water "springs" higher than normal. on the other hand, if the sun and the moon are 90 degrees apart in relation to an observer on earth as during the first quarter moon or third quarter moon, then high tides are not as high as they normally would be. this is because despite its greater distance, the sun's mass allows it to exert enough gravitational force on the oceans that it can negate some of the effects of the moon's pull. this phenomenon of lower high tides is called a neap tide. if you need more information on this topic visit moonconnection.com.
