What is the rise and fall of sea level that happens twice a day?
These are tides, and they caused by the tug of lunar gravity (and to a lesser extent, solar gravity). These periodic rises and falls have nothing to do with melting glacial ice from global warming.
What causes the tides to rise and fall and fall on Earth?
The tidal effect (guess where it got that name) caused by the gravity of the Sun and Moon.
Why does Antarctica have wind speeds up to 300Km?
The wind speed you quote is an exaggeration.The top wind speed measured on the continent is just under 200Km per hour. It is caused by the Katabatic winds that fall downhill from the polar plateau, which is about 2,835m above sea level. These winds are caused by gravity and the rotation of the earth.
What causes water fall?
Gravity.
How do objects fall?
Objects fall as a result of the downward force of gravity.
What is the direction that gravity causes objects to accelerate?
Free fall is caused when gravity pulls it toward earth

Why can't the moon fall in the Earth?
it's called gravity and no gravity. The moon is in a orbit in space and there is NO GRAVITY ON IT
How did lsaac Newton discover gravity?
He was hit by an apple and he wondered why it fell and what caused it to fall.
What is the rise and fall of water due to gravity called?
The tides.
When nothing but gravity is affecting the fall of an obeject it is said to be in?
A Vaccum Also called free-fall.
Why does gravity make objects round?
Gravity is not actually known to directly make objects round. Gravity is responsible for making objects fall or move to the lowest level.
Which term describes motion without air resistance to gravity?
free fallThe term that describes motion that does not resistance to gravity is called free fall. This means that gravity does not caught you.
What is the force that makes things fall to the ground called?
That is the force of gravity.
What is motion that is under the influence of gravity alone called?
free fall
What is the fear of gravy called?
An irrational fear of gravity is called barophobia. Someone who has this phobia usually fear that they might be crushed by gravity, gravity might cease to exist or that gravity will cause them to fall.
The motion of an object resulting from only the force of gravity is?
it is called free fall and its right if you put inertia
