The earth spins on its axis. The ocean water maintains its equal level through the gravitational force and the centrifugal forces together. But the moon's gravitational force disrupts and accelerates the water pulling it towards the moon. These areas which are pulled, experience high tide while the rest of the area has a low tide.

∙ 13y agoOn the side of the Earth closest to the Moon (sublunar area), the Moon's gravity pulls the water towards it.
On the side of the Earth opposite the moon (the antipodal area), the water is pulled less by the Moon's gravity, so the tide rises there, too.

The gravitational pull of the moon pulls the water, making the water level rise on the side of the earth facing the moon and on the opposite side.

When does high tide happens?
night
When the moon is closest to earth what kind of tide do you have?
A high tide.
What are the effects of the movement of the moon?
The effects are the moon phases, eclipses, and the high tide and low tide.
Why did a planet's moon cross the road?
To effect the other tide.
What causes low tide on a coastline?
the moon's force on earth causes high tide and low tide.
When does high tide happens?
night
Why does the sea rise and fall twice a day?
The sea rise and falls twice a day because of the gravitational force of the moon. in 24 hours the earth rotates 360 degrees. assuming the moon is stationary and I am at one point on the earth at 0.00 hours the sea is half way between high and low tide , the moon having half gravitational effect mid tide at 3.0 hours the moon is in line with me on the earth having high tide. at 6.00 hours the moon is half way round having half effect, mid tide at 9.00 hours the moon is at right angles having full effect, low tide at 12.00 hours the moon is half way round having half effect, mid tide at 15.00 hours the moon is in line having full effect, high tide at 18.00 hours the moon is halfway round having half effect, mid tide at 21..00 hours the moon is at right angles having low tide full effect at 24.00 hours the moon is halfway round having half effect and repeat the next day later, Two high and two low tides per day
Why do fisherfolk want to know whether there will de a high tide or low tide?
There will be a high tides and low tides are the effect of the moon's gravitational pull on our ocean
How do low tide and high tide occur?
The moon.
Is there a correlation between high tide and moon rise?
yes there is a correlation between high tide and moon rise because the higher the moon gets in the sky the higher the tide will be.
What is the difference between the levels at high and low tide?
the diffrencce between high tide and low is a high tide is by the gravitaion pull of the moon and/or the sun and a low tide is in the middle between the moon an sun
How does the moon cause high tide and low tide?
the gravity
When the moon is closest to earth what kind of tide do you have?
A high tide.
High Tide Moon position?
the moon in on the horizon =)
How do high tide and low tide happen?
low tide in the night high tide in the day
What are the effects of the movement of the moon?
The effects are the moon phases, eclipses, and the high tide and low tide.
What if the sun didn't help the moon make a high tide and low tide?
If the sun didn't help the moon make a high tide and low then there wouldn't be such of a high tide and probably when there is a low tide the water will be even further than a regular low tide.
