all right Shmoopers we got another passage that we're gonna read from this
- 00:06
one's on title lunacy yeah Hawaiian Observatory volcanoes and surfing and [text on screen]
- 00:13
all that stuff yeah someone passed the pineapple
- 00:15
all right well normally we would skim but this is kind of a science II
- 00:19
document so since the questions can be ludicrously specific we're actually

- 00:23
gonna start with the question and then let the skimming kind of speak for
- 00:26
itself or read for itself or whatever skimming does so here we go first
- 00:30
question of the series is according to the passage volcanic eruptions are what
- 00:35
let's go back here now and we're just gonna kind of skim a little bit on the
- 00:44
surface till things are not relevant history ball they sacrifice key for that
- 00:47
doesn't they're asking alone all right well I think about here the answer is a
- 00:50
well how do we get that who knew volcanoes were so affected by the moon [smoking volcano]
- 00:54
well the way they grow fur and claws and roam the countryside eating yeah no wait [werewolf]
- 00:59
those are werewolves all right study at the heart of this passage concluded that [text on screen]
- 01:03
out of 680 eruptions studied the probability of an eruption is greatest
- 01:09
at times of maximal tidal amplitude see we got it right there maximal tides are
- 01:14
referred to in the article as fortnightly tides that occur when the
- 01:18
moon is lined up with the Sun so you couldn't let that fortnightly word there
- 01:22
throw yeah it sounds like something Lincoln said in a speech right well [Lincoln]
- 01:25
there's a difference between a maximal tide one and a high tide which is why we [ocean tide]
- 01:30
can't say that volcanic eruptions are less likely to occur at low tide so get [text on screen]
- 01:35
rid of that one likewise we can't make any claims about regular high tide
- 01:39
versus a decaf low tide so get rid of sea there unlike werewolves maximal
- 01:44
tides occur at both full and New Moon's and the article doesn't differentiate
- 01:48
between the two when it comes to influencing volcanic eruptions so it is
- 01:53
and we're glad we skimmed this passage before you know the full moon
- 01:58
you
