The Moon's gravitational pull causes tides.
These is essentially a bulge in the ocean in the area closest to the moon, and on the opposite side of the planet. And, a lowering of the ocean on the parts 90 degrees ahead and behind the moon.
Thus, it all averages out, there isn't a net "rise".
The earth spins with respect to the sun 1 time per day.
The moon orbits the earth in the same direction once every 27 days.
So, one expects two high tides a day just over 12 hours apart, and two low tides following the high tides by just over 6 hours.

∙ 13y agothe moon's gravitational pull doesn't affect tsunamis. though tsunamis can be caused by earthquakes and other factors.

What phase of the moon does it have the strongest gravitational pull?
The gravitational pull of the moon, on the earth, is almost a constant - whatever its phase.
Does Pluto have a stronger gravitational pull than the moon?
No. Pluto is actually smaller then Our Moon, Therefor Less gravitational Pull.
What does the Moon's gravitational pull causes?
sun and the moon
What caused the Moon's gravitational pull?
sun and the moon
Why does the moon make tides?
Just as the moon orbits the earth because of the earth's gravitational pull, the moon has its own gravitational pull. While it isn't enough to greatly affect the Earth's movement, it does affect the earth's oceans.
Is it true that tsunami are caused due to gravitational pull of the moon?
No, it is not true.
When was Thanks To The Moon's Gravitational Pull created?
Thanks To The Moon's Gravitational Pull was created in 2003.
Tides are caused by the gravitational pull of?
Tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the moon.
What is the source of energy for these waves?
1 The moon's gravitational pull on the water 2 The wind hitting the water 3 An underwater earthquake (Tsunami)
When is the moon gravition pull the strongest?
The mutual gravitational forces between the Moon and the Earth are strongest when the distance between the two bodies is smallest. Just like the mutual gravitational forces between any other two bodies.
What phase of the moon does it have the strongest gravitational pull?
The gravitational pull of the moon, on the earth, is almost a constant - whatever its phase.
What do the differences in the moon's gravitational pull cause?
i think in the moon there is more gravitational
Does Pluto have a stronger gravitational pull than the moon?
No. Pluto is actually smaller then Our Moon, Therefor Less gravitational Pull.
Is the gravitational pull on the moon stronger or weaker than the gravitational pull on the earth?
weaker
What is dependent on gravitational pull?
Any two objects with mass will have a gravitational force. The orbit of planets around stars depends on the gravitational pull of the star. The Earth exerts a gravitational pull on its moon but the moon also exerts a pull on the Earth.
What caused the Moon's gravitational pull?
sun and the moon
What does the Moon's gravitational pull causes?
sun and the moon
