The moon's gravity pulls the water away from the earth on the side closest to it. Also the earth is pulled away from the water on the far side. These are the high tides. The sides that are perpendicular from the moon are the low tides. Because the earth spins once in a day whereas the moon takes a month to orbit this means there are 2 high and 2 low tides each day.

How does the Moon create waves on Earth?
No, the moon does not create waves, it creates tides because of its gravitational pull.
How many tides does earth have everyday?
Earth has a total of 4 tides a day 2 high tides and 2 low tides.
What are the tides on earth mainly caused by?
Tides on earth are mainly caused by the moon's gravity and earth's rotation.
What planets influence tides?
None of the planets influence the tides on Earth. Only the moon, which is not a planet, has a major impact on tides on Earth.
Why does the revolution of the moon along with the Moon's gravity create spring tides?
The Earth's gravitational attraction to the Moon causes spring tides. The area of Earth closest to the moon will experience the gravitational pull of the moon. The oceans react to this gravitational pull by creating a bulge on the side of Earth that faces the moon.
What phenomena are the results of gravity between the moon and the earth?
Tides are the result of lunar (and solar) gravity.
Does the pull of the moon create tides?
Yes,the gravitational pull of the moon actually does create tides at night time, when it is close to Earth
How does the earth create a day?
By spinning one complete spin.
Do gravitational forces create high or low tides?
For Earth, both high and low tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the Moon.
What force causes the earth's water to shift and create tides?
Primarily, the effects of gravity between the earth and the moon.
What is caused by the gravitational force of earth and the moon?
1) the tides 2) the slowing of Earth's rate of spin 3) the receding of the Moon 4) the stabilization of Earth's axial tilt.
Does the earth have tides?
Yes the earth has tides
What forces causes the Earth's water to shift and create tides?
There's just one: gravity.
How does the moon create waves?
The Gravity field between Earth and the Moon effects the waves and causes high tides and sometimes pushes the waves
How does the Moon create waves on Earth?
No, the moon does not create waves, it creates tides because of its gravitational pull.
Do tides control the way the earth spins?
Yes, the tides gradually slow Earth's rotation.Yes, the tides gradually slow Earth's rotation.Yes, the tides gradually slow Earth's rotation.Yes, the tides gradually slow Earth's rotation.
What is causing the moon to accelerate?
The Earth. The Earth and Moon are bound together by gravity and the Earth's tides (caused by the Moon) are accelerating the Moon and slowing the spin of the Earth. This means that the Moon is slowly getting further and further away from Earth.
