What is a moon tide?

On Earth, ocean tides are caused by the moon. This is because the moon is pulling on the surface of the Earth and the water in the ocean which is closer to the moon is pulled upward. This upward surge causes high tide while on the opposite side of the Earth (where the moon is furthest from the water) there is a low tide.

What type of tide causes a weak pull because the effects of the sun and moon are cancelled out?

It's called a 'neap' tide. When the sun & moon work together - it's called a 'spring' tide.

What causes low tide on a coastline?

Low tide on a coastline is primarily caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and sun on Earth's water. When the moon is directly overhead or on the opposite side of the Earth, it creates a low tide as water is pulled away from the shore. Other factors such as the shape of the coastline, winds, and weather patterns can also influence the timing and extent of low tides.


The gravitation force between the moon and earth?

Well if the moon moves a bit the earth and tide pulls with it and if the sun moon and earth are all in the same position as in a spring tide it causes the tides to go really big.

What does the pull of the moon on the ocean create?

The pull of the moon's gravity on the ocean causes the tides. When the moon is over water its pull causes the water to bulge (rise toward the moon) as the Earth rotates below the moon this bulge moves. Wherever the bulge is there's high tide. Everywhere else where the water has been pulled away from to make the bulge is low tide.
