all right SAT nerds reading this here we go let's keep going on the passage and

00:08

we got a question based on the passage which choice best describes the [text on screen]

00:10

relationship between solid earth tides and volcanoes when we're just thinking

00:14

about the passage and thinking about all the times they referred to solid earth

00:18

and volcanoes because it's hard to go skim back and look for these things well [girl thinking of volcanos]

00:22

what's the answer what's the answer it's B lunar gravity pulls equally on [lunar gravity influencing earth]

00:26

solid earth and molten magma that kind of makes sense it's just getting gravity

00:30

pulled on it so they're both the same thing nothing so special about the

00:34

protons and neutrons in magma right so as we think about it

00:37

solid earth tides like oceanic tides come from a Bulge created by lunar [moon orbiting earth]

00:42

gravity that follows the Moon around the earth the theory presented in the

00:46

article is that solid earth tides squeeze the planet like a toothpaste [tet on screen]

00:50

tube and this pushes the magma which allows it to break past crust and other [magma rising]

00:55

hindrances causing an explosion and extender in the mirror in the morning [volcanic eruption]

01:03

paragraphs four and five and right here and here explain the theory in copious

01:08

detail what pressure can cause changes in temperature but the article focuses

01:12

on the pressure created by lunar and at times solar gravity there's no [text on screen]

01:17

suggestion that the magma is any hotter during maximal tides so get rid of a and [smoking volcano]

01:22

while lunar gravity definitely pulls on everything the article specifically

01:26

credits squeezing pulling with causing those pimples to pop the article doesn't

01:32

explain how magma is created but there's no indication that the friction of this

01:36

squeezing can generate that much heat so get rid of D and well on the plus side

01:41

that probably means the moon can't give you one of those friction burns your [moon]

01:44

older brother loved to dish out nuggies and [moon giving a kid a nuggie]
