 Reminder: Module 4 (including the accomplishment of the learning activities) will last for one (1)
week. Make sure that you answer the different activities INTELLECTUALLY HONEST and
SCHOLARLY. Proper citation is needed whenever you wish to cite information from
sources and other readings other than the modules to support insights or answers as regards the
questions presented in this part of the module.

1. Why does the moon keep the same face turned toward the sun?
The moon always shows us the same face. This occurs because both rotating on its axis
and orbiting Earth require 27.3 days. Because the moon reflects sunlight, we perceive the full
moon, half-moon, or no moon (new moon). The amount we see is determined by the moon's
position in regard to the Earth and the sun.

2. How do tides affect the Earth and the Moon?

The gravitational pull of the moon on the Earth causes predictable rises and decreases in
sea levels, known as tides. Tides can be found in lakes, the atmosphere, and the Earth's crust to a
lesser extent.
Water rises at high tides and falls at low tides. Due to gravity, high tide occurs on the side
of the Earth closest to the moon, yet it also occurs on the side farthest from the moon due to the
inertia of water. Between these two humps, there are low tides. The moon's gravitational
attraction slows the Earth's rotation, causing tidal braking, which lengthens our day by 2.3
milliseconds per century.

3. What caused the craters, maria and other surface features of the Moon?
The moon, like the other four inner planets, is rocky. It is pockmarked with craters,
maria, and other lunar surface features are caused by asteroid collisions, meteorites falling from
the sky, or impacts from outer space a million years ago, and because there is no weather, the
craters have not eroded.

4. How did the moon form?

There are many hypotheses about how the moon came to be, but new evidence suggests it
developed when a massive collision ripped a portion of Earth away. The most common idea for
how the moon originated was that the basic elements for the moon were pushed off the primitive
molten Earth and into orbit by a massive collision. There are also various additional theories
about the moon's creation. According to a recent theory, the Earth may have captured the moon,
the moon fissioned out of the Earth, or the Earth may have taken the moon from Venus.
