The primary cause of the tide is the complex variation of the gravitational attraction of the moon and the sun on the liquid masses, due to the continuous change in the relative position of the stars, balanced by the centrifugal force of the Earth-Moon and Earth-Sun systems. The rise and fall of the sea level, respectively, are called:


A) flood and ebb;
B) ebb and flood;
C) flood and accumulation;
D) ebb and accumulation;
E) accumulation and flood.
