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]

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]
- 00:59
and you're staring there and you're a lake teenager you know what we mean [girl popping pimple]
- 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]
