Wherever the moon is, the mass of water on Earth facing AND opposite of the Moon are pulled outwards because of the Moon's gravity.
The mass of water facing the Moon is pulled out because its gravity is stronger there.
Thhe mass of water facing AWAY from the moon is pulled out because of the LACK of moon gravity on it, if that makes sense.
Wherever is not facing the moon or directly away from the moon has low tides because the moon's gravity does not much affect that area and the water from there rushes to the areas facing and facing away from the moon.
It's actually the moon which affects the tides, due to its gravitational pull.
The moon's pull on gravity affects the ocean's tides.
The earth's moon influences (affects) the ocean tides.
The moon and the earth both have magnetic fields and these are what makes the two attract. When the moon a full moon, more of the moon is seen and therefore more of the force is affected the tides. So, the fuller the moon, the higher the tides. I also believe that the sodium chloride present in the sea waters has some affect on the tides.
The moon affects the oceans on earth in many ways. It raises tides in oceans. It helps cleaning ocean water.
the moon.
high tide and low tide Just as Earth's gravity attracts the moon, the moon's gravity affects Earth. Being much smaller, its gravity is weaker and just pulls on the ocean. Tides change throughout the day due to the Sun and Moon's changing positions relative to Earth. Because the Sun also affects tides, the tides are highest during noon and midnight. In between, they just rise and fall slowly. The moon's gravity pulls the ocean and causes tides.
The gravitational pull of the moon affects the water on Earth, creating high tides on the side of the Earth facing the moon and on the opposite side. This is due to the difference in gravitational force across the Earth, resulting in areas experiencing high and low tides depending on the position of the moon relative to Earth.
The main substance affected by the Moon's gravity on Earth is water. This gravitational force causes the ocean tides to rise and fall in response to the Moon's position in its orbit around Earth.
the moon.
By their gravitational forces and; 3) by their electromagnetic radiation. The Sun affects the Earth by its gravity which keeps the Earth in its orbit, and as I discussed in the section under Moon-Tides, by raising tides in the rocky and watery components of the Earth.
When the moon is in it's New Moon and Full Moon phase it's gravitational pull most strongly affects Earth's tides. These are called Spring Tides which are extremely high and low tides. This occurs because during these moon phases the sun, moon, and earth are in a straight line so the gravitational pull is stronger than usual, therefore, effecting the tides.
