Listed below are geographic features of the terrestrial worlds. In each case, identify the geological process: impact cratering, volcanism, erosion, or tectonics (where tectonics is any large-scale processes affecting the structure of the planetary crust), most responsible for the feature described. Match the geographic feature to the appropriate geologic process.

Answer:
The picture above is a good example
(1.) Volcanism: big island of Hawaii, smooth surfaces of the lunar maria, Mars's Olympus Mons.
(2.) Impact cratering: old surface features of the lunar highlands.
(3.) Erosion: Earth's Grand Canyon.
(4.) Tectonics: current locations of Earth's continents, Mars's Valles Marineris, Mercury's many long, tall cliffs.
Correct.
Remember that the four processes are interrelated, so although one may be most important to a particular feature, others often also play a role. For example, some erosion has occurred on the volcanic island of Hawaii, there are impact craters on the slopes of Olympus Mons, and volcanism and tectonics almost always go hand-in-hand.

High tides are predominately produced by the
1) strong gravitational pull of the Sun, 2) centrifugal force created by Earth-Moon orbit, 3) differences in gravitational pulls of the Moon on opposite sides of Earth, which is due to 4) rotation of Earth and Moon about the Sun. 5) Moon pulling with significantly more force on the closer side of Earth than on the farther side. 6) the Sun's pull on Earth being 200 times stronger than Moon's gravitational pull.
