Is tidal friction slowing down earth?
Tidal friction caused by Earth's stretching from the Moon's gravity is gradually slowing down the rotation of Earth.
What is tidal heating?
Tidal heating is the heating of the Earth due to being pulled on by the Moon and Sun. The Earth is constantly changing shape and heat is a by-product of that.
Why does Mercury's days last almost 59 earth days?
Mercury rotates in about 58.65 Earth days. This is called a "sidereal day". Interestingly there is a big difference between the length of this "day" and the "solar day"which is about 176 Earth days. Anyway the reason for the slow rotation is the closeness to the Sun. Tidal forces are responsible.
Earth's tidal bulges are always aligned with the?
Moon
How do you determine tidal range?
tidal range is the distance of the high tide and low tide.
What fundamental force is responsible for tidal?
Gravitational force between Earth - Moon - Sun is the fundamental force behind the tidal motion.
Why is the moon responsible for predicting tidal movements in the earths oceans?
The moon doesn't predict anything, but scientists do and the gravitational pull of the moon , sun, and the earth determines tidal movements.
Why do scientists study Earth s tidal patterns?
Why do scientists study Earth's tidal patterns?
What produces tidal range?
the combined forces of the sun and the moon on Earth produces tidal ranges.
What is the result of gravity between the Moon and the Earth?
The gravitational interaction of the Earth and Moon produces a number of effects. The most obvious of these is the orbital motion of the Moon around the Earth, but there is also a motion of the Earth around the center of mass of the Earth-Moon system, tidal effects on the Earth and Moon and professional effects on the Earth's axis of rotation.
Is tidal friction slowing down earth?
Tidal friction caused by Earth's stretching from the Moon's gravity is gradually slowing down the rotation of Earth.
Is tidal energy harmful to the earth?
Tidal energy is natural and is not harmful to the Earth. Scientists are currently studying ways to make use of tidal energy because of its many benefits.
What is the definition of tidal bulge?
The gravitational pull of the Sun and the Moon cause the tidal bulges.
What forces are responsible for tidal currents and are they predicable?
The forces that are responsible are Horizontal Surface Currents. They can be unpredictable.
How is tidal energy recovered?
by the earth
Does Earth produce a tidal effect on the Moon?
Yes. Think in terms of Newton's second law. Earth does produce a tidal effect on the Moon.
As the moon revolves around the earth the moons gravity pulls on the earths seas this gravitational force causes?
A tide. You're asking about the tidal force caused by the interaction of the earth and moon. The earth and moon orbit around their common point, the barycenter, which is located within the body of the earth. As the earth swings away from the barycenter, the tides are caused that are observed on the side of earth away from the moon.
