Many planets have multiple moons. Discuss how the tides would be affected if Earth had two moons (A and B), each one-half the size of the current moon, in the following two scenarios.
a) Assume the two moons followed the current orbit of the moon and were located on opposite sides of Earth (one-half orbit apart; for example, in the positions of the new moon and full moon).
b) Assume the two moons followed the current orbit of the moon and were located one-quarter orbit apart (for example, in the positions of the new moon and the first quarter moon).
Draw diagrams showing the locations of the moons relative to Earth and the sun and how each scenario would change a typical semidiurnal tidal pattern recorded on a tidal gauge measuring near-shore depth of the ocean.
