Were oceans caused by the moving of the earths surface?
no
The rises and falls in the level of earths oceans caused mainly gravityor pull of the moon is?
The answer is tides because......if look up tides or you could say tides rise and fall because the moon pulls them....gravity makes them pull towards the moon.So yes,the answer is tides.
How does gravity affect oceans?
Gravity can pull water in and out, causing tide like motions. The gravity of the moon and sun, for example pull on the earths oceans and cause high and low tides.
What causes the moon to pull on the earths oceans making an oval shape?
The gravity of the moon
What makes up earths oceans?
Mainly salt water, excluding things like sea life.
What contains the largest percentage of the Earth?
The largest percentage of the earths surface is covered by water mainly the Oceans (about 71%).
Why are tides affected?
Tide is mainly caused by the gravitational pull of the moon upon the oceans.
What is the water in the oceans pulled by?
As far as tides it is th pull of the moon's gravity, but waves can be caused by wind.
Why does the moon gravity have a greater effect on earths oceans tides than the sun gravity?
Mainly because the sun is about 390 times farther away from Earth than the moon is. That means that there's about 153,000 times as much force between us and a piece of mass in the moon as there is between us and the same piece of mass in the sun.
What is the rising she falling off the ocean surface caused by the moon pull off gravity?
Gravity and the pull of the moon are the same thing. The pull of the moon is caused by the moons' gravity.
How does wind affect ocean waves?
Gravity can pull water in and out, causing tide like motions. The gravity of the moon and sun, for example pull on the earths oceans and cause high and low tides.
Does the earths hydrosphere only include Earths oceans?
no not really
