What five factors cause ocean tides?
The five factors that cause ocean tides are the gravitational pull of the moon, the gravitational pull of the sun, the rotation of the Earth, the shape of the coastline, and the depth of the ocean.
What are the disadvantages of ocean currents?
they cause drownings and rip tides
What does the moon cause on the earth twice a day?
ocean tides
Why isn't the surface of earth flat?
because of tectonic plates (convection currents cause the movement of them), human, animal and plant activity, wind and other natural occurances including tides and natural disasters. thats all i can think of

What are the basic cause of ocean tides?
Tides form due to variations of gravitatinal pull between earth ,moon and sun.
What are the two things in space that are the cause of the ocean tides?
Easy, the sun and the moon.
Can the Moon's phases cause shifts in earths plates causing earthquakes?
The Moon exerts a gravitational pull on the Earth, which causes ocean tides. If the tectonic plates were such that we were on the verge of an earthquake anyway, maybe the moon's pull could be the straw that breaks the camel's back, so to speak.However, when we take of the phases of the Moon, that refers to the way the light from the Sun hits the Moon, affecting how much of it is illuminated as we look at it from Earth. that doesn't affect the gravitational pull.
What are daily changes in the elevation of the ocean called?
Tide is the answer.
Does the gravitational influence of Venus cause tides in the ocean?
No. The tides are caused by the gravitational influence of the moon and sun. Venus does not have any significant effect.
Which phases of the moon bring the highest tides what cause the height tides?
The highest tides, known as spring tides, occur during the full moon and new moon phases when the sun, moon, and Earth are aligned, creating a stronger gravitational pull on the ocean. Spring tides cause higher high tides and lower low tides.
Does the sun help cause ocean tides?
Yes, the Sun does have a large effect. When the Sun and Moon are both on the same side of the Earth is when the tides are the largest.
