If the moon were closer to earth high tides would?
If the moon were closer to Earth, high tides would be higher and occur more frequently due to increased gravitational pull. The closer proximity would enhance the moon's influence on Earth's tides, leading to more pronounced tidal variations.
When are the high tides extra high and low tides extra low?
It varies from day to day and from place to place. It is dependant upon where the Moon and Sun are in relationship to the Earth and the specific location. There are tide tables available that will give the times in key locations with directions on how to determine the difference for areas nearby. Most communities will publish the time of high and low tides in the local paper.
Does moon phases cause tides?
Yes, moon phases do affect tides. The gravitational pull of the moon on Earth's water bodies causes tidal bulges, resulting in high and low tides. When the moon is full or new, aligning with the sun, tidal forces are the strongest, resulting in higher high tides and lower low tides known as spring tides.
When the moon is closer to the earth and thus tides are greater and called?
When the Moon is closer to the Earth, it exerts a stronger gravitational pull, leading to higher tides known as "spring tides." These occur during the full and new moon phases when the Sun, Moon, and Earth are aligned, resulting in the most significant difference between high and low tides.
What are the effects of the moon on the earths tides?
what are the effects of tides The moon effects the tides making them either high or low tides.
How moon affect the oceans?
The moon's gravity pulls on the Earth's oceans, creating tides. When the moon is at different positions relative to the Earth, it causes different tide patterns such as high tides and low tides. This gravitational force from the moon is the main factor that influences the ocean tides.
Are Low tides caused by the sun and high tides by the moon?
no. all tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the moon.
What would happen to earth if it lost its moon?
High tides wouldn't be as high and low tides wouldn't be as low.
Does the moon's gravity cause low tide or high tide?
The Moon's gravity is the primary cause of tides - all tides, both high and low.
Why do you have high and low tides at the beach?
Due to the gravitational pull on the earth from the moon and the sun. The moon pulls the water from the earth towards it and so does the sun. Low tides are called Neap tides and are low because the pull from the sun and the moon cancel each other out (it would be much easier to explain using a diagram) High tides are spring tides and are high because the sun and the moon are alligned, creating a strong force.
When do regular low and high tides occur?
low tides happen when the moon is not in a straight line and make an right angle and high tides is when the moon earth and sun are in a straight line
Tide are especially high or low when the moon is full or new?
Yes, tides are especially high when the moon is full or new due to the combined gravitational pull of the moon and sun aligning. This alignment creates spring tides, where high tides are higher and low tides are lower than usual.
