Box 1: New Moon-Correct
Box 2: Waning Crescent is shown-Incorrect-- should be a Waxing Crescent
Box 3: 1st Quarter-Correct
Box 4: Waxing Gibbous-Correct
Box 5: Full Moon-Correct

What are the possible Moon phases and the type of tide that occurred on November 30th?
November 8th: New or Full Moon phases which result in a Spring Tide

Explain what Model A and Model B is showing
Model A is showing that the Earth and the Moon both rotate and Model B is showing that the Moon is in the Earth's orbit while the Earth is revolving around the Sun
