Does the moons orbit cause tides and phases on Earth?
yes
What is the responsibility for the phases of earths moon?
Controlling the earth's tides.
What is responsible for the earths moons phases?
Controlling the earth's tides.
Where is the moon when high tides occur?
the moon is at new or full moon phases in other words between earth and sun, or 'behind' earth. This is because the gravitational pull works with the sun.
How does the phases of the moon affect the tides at sea?
the phases of the moon don't affect tides. Tides are caused by the moon's gravity, the moon is always at the same distance from Earth. Sun also causes the tides. so if the sun and the moon are directed in the same place at Earth extra high tides occur.
The earth experiences spring tides at which two phases of the moon?
Full Moon and New Moon phases.
The medium-sized tides that occur across the entire Earth's surface during the Quarter Moon phases are called?
Neap tides
The medium-sized tides that occur across the entire Earth's surface during the Quarter Moon phases are called what?
neap tides
Can you relate the phases of the moon to the occurrence of high and low tides?
Only spring and neap tides. The normal day to day tides are brought about by the position of the moon in relation to the earth as the earth rotates 'beneath' it
Which phase of the moon produces the least variation in tides on earth?
First quarter and third quarter phases of the moon produce the least variation in the tides.
What causes seasons tides eclipses and phases of the moon?
Season result from the tilt of the earth in relation to the sun. Tides are caused (mainly) by the gravitational pull of the moon. An eclipse is a shadow, cast by the earth onto the moon, or a shadow of the moon cast on the earth. The phases of the moon are the part of the moon visible to the earth that is illuminated by the sun.
What will happen if the moon moves away from Earth?
-- It'll appear smaller in the sky. -- It'll take longer to go through a full cycle of phases. -- High tides on Earth will be lower. Low tides on Earth will be higher.
