Answer to Question 1

Answer: Tides are caused by differences in gravitational pulls. The Moon pulls with proportionally more force on the side of Earth nearest the Moon than the far side. This difference in pulls is greater than the corresponding difference in the pulls by the more distant Sun.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Erosional features include cliff notches, sea stacks, sea caves, sea arches, and wave-cut platforms. Depositional features include: spits, barrier islands, and beaches.
