Tides are formed because... as the moon orbits the earth, its gravity 'pulls' on the water in the oceans. This causes the tides to rise and fall twice a day.

I think as tidal waves generate due to the gravitational attraction force of sun and the moon. due to this attraction sea water pulled up and down.

What factors can make tides vary even in places that are close to each other?

the moon's revolution around the earth has a major impact on the tides. the sun also has a less great impact on the tides, too. if we had no moon the tides would change greatly


How is a tidal range affected when the moon earth and sun are in line?

Spring tides occur in principle when the three objects are lined up so that the gravitational forces of the Sun and Moon are combined. In practice in many places the spring tides occur 1-2 days later. Tides are a proximity effect, which means that the Moon's effect on the tides is the major effect because it's closer, while the Sun's overall gravitational force on the Earth is much stronger. Tides happen because the Moon's gravity is much stronger on one side of the Earth than the other, because it's close, while the difference is not so much with the Sun's gravity because it's a lot further away.


What did Isaac Newton say sbout tides?

the moons gravity pulls on the ocean water as the earth revolves on its axes, causing tides


Are there land tides as well as sea tides?

Tides are caused by the gravitational effect of (mainly) the moon. The position of the moon relative to a particular point on Earth determines the tide. The most noticeable effect is on the sea but everything (including the land) is affected to some degree. So short answer - Yes.


Why do tides occur on our planet explain?

a tide is when water levels change in a large body of water. tides occur because of the moons gravity. the position of the moon and how close it is to earth determines if it is a high tide or low tide.
