Why is the high tide unusually low when the sun, the moon, and earth are in this configuration?

the correct answers are:

a - pacific plate;

it is the biggest oceanic tectonic plate. surrounded on all sides by continental tectonic plates, it is submerging and gradually becoming smaller and smaller.

b - north american plate;

huge continental plate, occupying big portion of the northern hemisphere.

c -eurasian plate;

alongside the north american plate, it is one of the two dominant continental plates in the northern hemisphere.

d - indian plate;

a small continental plate, that has been part of gondwanaland initially, but after the break up of it, moved towards northeast and pushed into the eurasian plate that was once part of laurasia.

heat from the core of the earth causes convection currents to occur in the mantle. these currents slowly move the crust around.
