What are Tides on Earth are causes by?
Tides on earth are mainly caused by the moon's gravity and earth's rotation.
How does the moon crontrol gravity on earth?
No. The earth has its own gravity. The lunar gravity causes tides on earth, but does not control earth's gravity.
How does the moon affect the earth's oceans?
The moons gravitational pull is what causes tides.
How does oceans affect the earth?
The moon's gravity causes tides on Earth.
Force that causes tides to occur on earth?
The gravity of the moon.
How does tide affect gravity on earth's surface?
It does not. Gravity affects tides or more correctly causes them.
When the moon revolves around the earth what does it cause?
The pull of the moon's gravity causes Earth's tides.
Does the Moon's gravity cause water currents?
Not exactly. The Moon's gravity (together with the Sun's gravity) causes the tides on Earth.
What causes daily tides?
It is the gravity pull of the moon and the gravity pull of the sun that causes tides.
What causes tides but not waves and currents?
The gravity of the Sun and the Moon causes tides. Waves are caused by the wind. Currents have a variety of causes, but differential heating of different parts of the Earth by the Sun, modified by the coriolis effect of the turning Earth is the main one.
What forces causes the earth's highest tides in the ocean?
The gravity of the moon and sun causes the earth's tides. The greatest tides are called 'spring' tides which occur when the earth, moon and sun are aligned. The moon has the greatest effect on our tides because of its proximity.
What causes the moon to have lessof an impact on tides at neap tides?
The Sun's gravity. At neap tides - the moon is exactly opposite the Sun in relation to the Earth. This means it's 'pulling' against the gravity of the Sun.
