- there are two kinds of forces the non-contact force (sometimes called action at a distance forces) and the contact forces
- there are only three types of contact forces the magnetic force, gravity force, and electricity force
- the one that affects the earth is the gravity force
- there is a contact force that affect the earth the friction force

If you were three times as far from the center of Earth as you are now the pull of Earths gravity on you would be what?
The forces of gravity between two objects fall off as the square of the distance between them.If you were three times as far from the center of the Earth as you are now,then the forces of gravity between you and the Earth would be1 / (3^2) = 1/9 of what they are now.Putting it simply, your weight would be 1/9 of what it is down here on the surface.
Is it true that tides are created by the difference between the gravitational force at Earths surface and at Earths center?
Yes, that's basically what causes tides. ===================== And the moon. Lets not forget its role.
What are three reasons why most craters left on Earth are no longer visible?
Since the Earth's crust is a dynamic surface that is controlled by convection in the Earths core, the plates on which the surface lies are moving, called plate tectonics. This tectonic motion produces subduction which recycles and changes the Earths surface resulting in a ever changing and recycled surface, that does not preserve impact craters. Also, erosional and weathering processes erode away the higher parts of craters leaving no clear marking of craters over a long period of time.
