∙ 10y agoThe high tide is caused by the interaction of the moon and its gravity on the ocean. As the moon moves around the Earth the ocean bulges when the gravitation field is strongest.

How do you determine tidal range?
tidal range is the distance of the high tide and low tide.
Which type of tide is created when the Sun's gravitational pull on Earth is at its least?
Neap tide
How are waves created by the moon?
The moon has a gravity like the earth and therefore as it changes from a full moon to crecent so dose the gravitational pull. It is this gravitational pull on the sea that causes waves and high and low tide. The wind can also have an effect on how strong or high the waves will be
What happens to the ocean tide when gravitational pull is at its strongest?
When gravitation pull is at its strongest, we have spring tides. The spring tide reaches far up the beach at high tide, and also goes far down the beach at low tide.
How does the Moon affect Earth Tides?
The moon affect the ocean tides because of the gravitational pull that the moon has. Where the is a high tide, the moon is pulling the water toward it's gravity. The water on the opposite side of Earth, will pull away from the moon.
What is lunar pull?
It is he Gravitational pull from the moon...This also causes high tide and low tide.
How does a wave move?
The Moon's gravitational pull causes the waves to move between high and low tide.
Why do tides occour?
the moons gravitational pull causes the tides. high tide and low tide. Also each tide occurs twice each day
What are low high tides?
The gravitational pull of the moon pulls the ocean up on the shore this is called high tide and when the moon releases the gravitational pull it is called the low tide
What causes a tide to occur?
The gravitational pull of the moon on the Earth's oceans.
What causes low tides?
The moon's gravitational pull.The tides occur because of the gravitational pull of the the moon on the major bodies of water. Low tide occurs where the gravitational pull of the moon is lowest, on the opposite side of Earth from where the moon is directly overhead, which is where high tide occurs.
What causes spring tide and neap tides?
The gravitational pull by the moon and the sun.
Why is high tide and low tide happened?
because the seawater reacts to the gravitational pull of the moon.
What cause of tides?
The gravitational pull of the moon is the cause of high tide.
How are high tide and low tide alike?
They are Both created by the moons gravitational pull on the earth
How do you determine tidal range?
tidal range is the distance of the high tide and low tide.
Which type of tide is created when the Sun's gravitational pull on Earth is at its least?
Neap tide
