What is the main force driving ocean's tides?
the force of gravity
The force that causes the ocean tides is?
Gravity from the moon, control's the ocean ( river,streams, lakes, etc) tides.
What is the moons role in ocean tides?
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.
What causes ocean tides to reach higher up on a shore at certain times of day than at others?
The moon's gravity and Earth's rotation
What governs the tides?
Tides are mostly affected by the moon's gravity and earth's rotation.
What ocean movements are affected by the moon gravity?
tides of course
What is the large body affects the ocean's tides?
The moon's pull on gravity affects the ocean's tides.
What is the main substance affected by the moons gravity?
The tides of the ocean.
What is the main force driving ocean's tides?
the force of gravity
How does gravity affect tides?
Tidal movements result mainly from the pull of the moons gravity on the ocean.
What is the stronger of the two forces that form ocean tides?
Lunar gravity.
Does the Moon's gravity affect ocean tides?
Yes and I'm positive.
The force that causes the ocean tides is?
Gravity from the moon, control's the ocean ( river,streams, lakes, etc) tides.
Which characteristic of an ocean shows that they are in constant motion?
the reason is because the moon controls the tides going in and out. the gravity constantly pulls the ocean tides causing the waves to move with swift current

What role dose gravity play whit the ocean tides?
Its the driving force.
How does gravity effect the ocean?
The moons gravity pulls on the ocean, creating high and low tides. Depending on where the moon is located in contrast to where you are located, the moons gravity cause a spring tide, which is the largest hight range in high and low tides, and a neap tide, which is the least hight in high and low tides. I hope this helps. :)
