The "force" your talking about is the moons gravity as well as the suns gravity for example a "spring tide" is when the moon and sun are on opposite sides of the earth therefor stretching the oceans into an oval. A spring tide is the optimal tide meaning it is the strongest type of tide but only occurs roughly every month

∙ 9y agoThe force or gravity from the moon is responsible for tides mostly. It is strong because of the short distance to the moon. Gravity being an attractive force means that the moon pulls the water towards itself, so it is dependent on the moon's position where the tide is attracted.

∙ 9y agoAll of the tides around the world are impacted by the gravitational force, or pull of our moon on the Earths atmosphere. I believe that when the moon comes closer to the Earths atmosphere the lack of gravity or the presence of the moons atmosphere will push or pull on the water itself, in turn causing the tide to rise or fall

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.
How tides are formed?
the moon pules the water, wind can also cause it
What scientific force is primarily responsible for maintaining control of your vehicle?
friction
What force is the most responsible for the formation of a delta?
Gravity is the force that causes the sediments to fall from their transport medium.Turbulence in that medium will keep the smallest particles in suspension the longest, so the delta will grade from coarse material to fine material as one approaches the sea, and indeed the finest particles will only settle far out in the sea.
What phyla are responsible for red tides?
Estuarine, marine, or fresh water algae is responsible for toxic red times. The algae accumulates rapidly in the water column discoloring the water's surface.
What is the Moon's gravitational force responsible for?
Tides.
What is the force that is responsible for tides?
The moon's gravitational force is what causes the ocean tides to change. How Stuff Works has a great diagram and explanation of how this happens.
Is the sea tide related to the moon?
Yes, the gravity of the moon (and to some extent the sun) is responsible for producing the sea tides as the earth rotates.
If you live by the sea what can you tell about the moon?
That it has strong tidal effects on the earth due to it's gravitational force, the force between the earth and moon. So, you would see the tides go in and the tides go out!
What is the definition of tidal bulge?
The gravitational pull of the Sun and the Moon cause the tidal bulges.
What causes the tides in the sea?
sea tides are caused due to gravitational pull from sun and moon also caused due to sea is the lowest level in the earth which is low in radius of the earth as the radius of heavenly bodies increases the force of attraction also increases.;
What type of force is cause of tides?
ebb tides
Who causes the tides?
The tides are caused by the moon's gravitational force.
Does the moon produce gravitational force on the earth?
Yes. The moon produces considerable gravitational effects visible to anybody. The moon's gravity is responsible for the tides.
Where do tides occur?
in the sea
When the tides are especially weak the tides are called?
During spring tides, the sea comes in far up the beach, and goes out a long way.During neap tides, the sea doesn't come in as high up the beach, or goes out as far.
Which celestial bodies are responsible for the tides?
You're fishing for "Earth and Moon", but your outlook on the whole matter seriouslyneeds broadening.-- In the case of tides on the Earth, the Sun has almost as much influence on themas the Moon has.-- In principle, every two celestial bodies are responsible for raising tides on each other,as the result of the mutual forces of gravitational attraction between them.
