What else can I help you with?
If the moon were covered with water tidal effects by Earth would find the moon with three tidal budges or no tidal budges or two tidal budges or four tidal budges or one tidal budge?
There are two tidal bulges; one on the side of the Earth closest to the Moon, and one directly on the opposite side. The explanation is a little tricky. We think of the Earth as following its own orbital path around the Sun, and the Moon orbiting the Earth. But this isn't exactly true. Because the Moon is so large, it's almost like two planets that orbit each other rather than moon orbiting the parent body. Because water is a liquid and every water molecule is free to move, we can think of the oceans of the Earth as trying to orbit the Moon. The Earth has a radius of about 4000 miles or 6400 km. All of the water molecules on the Moon side of the Earth are in too low an orbit - by 4000 miles - for their speed, and they should fall into a closer orbit toward the Moon. (The Earth's gravity prevents them from going very far, but the effect is there. ) On the side away from the Moon, every water molecule is in too HIGH an orbit, and is moving too fast - and the water tries to rise into its "proper" higher orbit. Of course, the Earth's gravity is so much greater, because the Earth is much larger than the moon and much closer - but the gravitational pull of the Moon (and to a lesser extent, the Sun) is what causes tides on BOTH sides of the Earth.
What is the part of a river that periodically gets covered with water?
The tidal area.
How much area of earth is covered by water?
Approximately 71% of the Earth's surface is covered by water.
Part of earth covered by water?
3/4 of the Earth is covered by water.
What does tidal energy result from?
Tidal energy results from the gravitational pull on water by the Moon, and to a lesser degree, the sun. These gravitational effects combine with centrifugal forces that result from the Earth and the Moon orbiting each other.
Does the moon also pull on earth?
Yes. The effect of this is seen on tidal water. Tidal water is a "wave" following the moon around the earth as the moon moves.
Which planet is covered in mostly water?
Earth. Over 70% of Earth's surface is covered by water.
What percentage of the earth's surface is covered in water?
About 71 percent of the Earth's surface is water-covered.
What percentage of the earth's surface is covered by water?
Approximately 71 of the Earth's surface is covered by water.
How much of the earth is covered in water and which type of water is most of that?
70% of the Earth is covered by water. Most of the water is salt water.
What percentage of the earth's surface is water?
71.13% of the earth is covered by water. Only 3% of that water is fresh water, the rest is salt water.
What is a rising overflowing body of water onto land that's not normally covered with water?
A flood, or a tidal wave.
