Is the surface of the sea is not level due to the tide?
There are a few things that cause the ocean surface not to be level. The small-scale variation or waves is caused by wind. The ocean level in various areas is also affected by wind patterns, ocean currents, variations in Earth's gravity, and the tides.
How do you modulate gravity waves?
Gravity waves could not even be detected so far; I doubt there are any serious proposals to modulate them.
What effect has the moon have on waves?
The moon's gravity causes waves and tides to rise. During a period called 'high tide', the moon is closer to the Earth than usual, and the result is that it's gravity causes ocean waves to be higher than normal.
How does the moon control water?
the Earth is spinning on an axis at 1000mph or so in spacetime. The Moons gravity is trying to pull the water off the earth towards it, this movement and the push pull creates waves and tides on the seas on earth.
What keeps the earth sun and moon stay in their orbital paths?
Gravity on the sun is so strong it holds the eight planets, the Earth's gravity is only strong enough to hold the moon in place and stop its self from being sucked into the sun, The moon's gravity only stops its self from crashing into the earth but is not strong enough to not cause large waves sometimes. At least that's what they said in science class.
What is wave and tide?
Well for those of u who must know, waves are ocean currents created by wind. Tides are ocean currents created from the push and the pull of the sun and the moons gravity.
How do currents work?
currents are effected by a lot of things one of them is the moon. The moons gravitational pulls the waves towards it causing waves to move
What are ocean currents and movement?
They are pulled from the gravity/force of the moon therefore creating waves and currents.
How the waves are made?
The moons gravity pulls the water and makes high tide and low tide
What is the cause of waves currents and tides?
the wind and shifting of the earth.
What causes tides but not waves and currents?
The gravity of the Sun and the Moon causes tides. Waves are caused by the wind. Currents have a variety of causes, but differential heating of different parts of the Earth by the Sun, modified by the coriolis effect of the turning Earth is the main one.
What wave doesn't need matter for energy transfer?
Electromagnetic waves; gravity waves.Electromagnetic waves; gravity waves.Electromagnetic waves; gravity waves.Electromagnetic waves; gravity waves.
What disturbing forces cause waves?
Gravity, Seismic Activity, and Wind
Can the waves crashing against the beach without any initiating event?
No. Waves are transferring energy from another source such as wind, boats, animals (fish, human ect) currents, Gravity ( Tides).
What affects do water waves and currents have on beaches?
waves and currents make the shore bigger
How does the moon cause tides on earth the most widely accepted model of the solar system is what?
Yes, the moons gravity pulls slightly on the earths hydrosphere. After a full moon you may notice that the oceans waves are distorted moving in several directions.
What does the moon cause on the earth?
it's gravity disturbs the oceans. can cause giant waves.
