Effects of tides to people living on earth?

Answer 1

The Moon's gravitational pull on the Earth, and to a lesser degree the Sun's gravity as well. The Sun's gravity force is much weaker on Earth's surface than the Moon's gravity because of its greater distance.

While the Moon creates the overall change in the level of the oceans, each location will have slightly different tides because of sea depths, topography, and other factors.

Answer 2

Tides affect people living on Earth by influencing navigation for boats and ships, impacting coastal ecosystems and fishing activities, and sometimes causing flooding in low-lying coastal areas. Additionally, tidal energy can be harnessed for renewable power generation.

Answer 3

They don't really. We still use months which were originally linked to the moon, and some nocturnal predators might feed better in moonlight, but overall, it doesn't have much affect, just as phases. Do you know ( or care ) what phase the moon is in, most of the time?

The tides may have a much more important role, but that's not really related to the moon's phases, as such.

Answer 4

The Moon's gravitational pull creates high and low tides on Earth.

There are 2 high ocean tides each day. One "bulge" is roughly "under" the

Moon and the other high tide is on the opposite side of the Earth.

Answer 5

Each day there are two high tides and two low tides. The time between high and low tide is a little over 6 hours and the entire tidal cycle repeats itself four times each day. The regularity of the tides corresponds to the regular orbit of the moon around the earth and the rotation of the earth as it orbits around the sun.

Depending upon the position of the moon relative to the earth and sun, a moon can have different phases. The phases of the moon are also very regular, and have been used for thousands of years to keep track of time using the lunar calendar. In addition to the daily movements of the moon, these monthly lunar cycles can also impact the tides.

Answer 6

They don't in any other way than providing more light to tend to your plants at night when no other light source is available; or if they are planted in a location that is affected by being drowned by tides.

Answer 7

The Sun always shines on half of the Moon. As the Moon circles the Earth, we Earthlings see a the near half of the Moon, but we can't always see all of the illuminated half. This difference in direction - the Sun shines from the Sun but we see from the Earth - causes the effect of "phases" of the Moon.

Answer 8

There is a gravitational pull that exists between the planetarial masses of the earth, moon sun respectively.

The stronger force exists between earth and moon as far as tides are concerned.

As the earth and moon orbit each other on a daily basis a gravitational pull is exerted on a section of ocean mass on the side closest of the earth to the orbiting moon.

This results in a section of rotating ocean mass that imparts a translation force component to water at right angles to the gravitational force on the surface of the earth.

The sun kicks in force wise when a monthly alignment of the earth moon and sun takes place. This is the point where a king tide occurs.

The other significant force influencing tides is that imparted by the wind ond the ocean surface.

Answer 9

The moon though smaller than the earth has a gravitational effect on us. This is most noticable in the changing on the tides. The moon's gravity pulls on the worlds oceans giving us high and low tides. This can affect with fishing as with the changing of the tides nutrients can be dragged up from the oceans depth giving fish a concentrated time period to get the most food. The best time for this is around a new or full moon. Keep in mind there are plenty of other factors in play.

Answer 10

Yes. The tides are effected by the moon. The cyclical rise and fall of seawater (ocean tide) is created when the gravitational pull of the moon creates tidal bulges

At the location in the sea closest to the moon, water is lifted toward the moon because of the strength of gravitational attraction.

On the opposite side of the Earth, tidal bulge is produced away from the moon due to the fact that both the Earth and the Moon actually orbit their combined Center of Mass, a point about 1700km (26% of the radius) below the surface of the Earth, on the line joining the centers of the two bodies. This motion of the Earth generates a centrifugal force which flings the water away from the Center of Mass, and therefore on the side opposite the moon. For a good animation of this action (though not, unfortunately including the water movement), go to:
