When do high tides come about?
High tides occur when the water is at its highest. Tides are caused by the combined effects of the rotation of the earth and the gravitational forces of the sun and the moon.
Why does the full moon cause lower readings in high and low tides?
During the full moon, the moon and the sun line up causing their gravitational forces to add up and pull harder on the oceans and create bigger tides.: )
A tide that result when the gravitational pull of the sun and moon combine to create higher high tides and lower low tides is called a?
When the Sun and Moon are aligned, you get what is called spring tides, with higher high tides and lower low tides.
How is sping tide caused?
When the sun and the moon are aligned in one axis pulling straight from earth.
Why does the moon afect the tides?
The moons gravitational pull is what make the tides high/low.
How low tides and high tides take place?
Ithink it is the Moon's gravitational pull .
Are Low tides caused by the sun and high tides by the moon?
no. all tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the moon.
What force pulls water up against gravity?
It is gravity its self. The gravity of the moon pulls on water and causes the tides. When the sun and moon are aligned, there are exceptionally strong gravitational forces, causing very high and very low tides. The gravitational force of the moon is one ten-millionth that of earth, but when you combine other forces such as the earth's centrifugal force created by its spin, you get tides.
Is the size of all high tides the same?
Tides are the rise and fall of the sea level caused by the combined effects of the gravitational forces exerted by the Moon and the Sun and the rotation of the Earth. The heights of tides vary from seasons to seasons. So no, they are not all the same.
How do high tides occurs?
due to gravitational pull of the moon
How does the moon create waves?
The Gravity field between Earth and the Moon effects the waves and causes high tides and sometimes pushes the waves
What is to do with the moon?
Tides are caused by gravitational forces of the moon and the sun. The sun is huge, but it is 360 times farther from the Earth than the moon. ... The moon's moon's moon's moon's moon's moon's moon's gravitational force pulls on water in the oceans and causes bulges that create "high tide." The moon's gravitational pull is strongest on the side that faces the Earth.
