high tide
What else can I help you with?
What causes a bulge to be created on the opposite side of the moon?
The gravitational pull of the earth causes a bulge on the opposite side of the moon. The gravitational pull of the earth is greater than the gravitational pull of the sun.
What does the Moon's gravitational pull do to the tides on earth?
It causes the tides (together with the sun).
Can the moon orbit around the sun?
No, the moon orbits around the Earth, not the sun. This is due to the gravitational pull between the Earth and the moon. The moon's orbit around the Earth is what causes its phases and affects tides on Earth.
What does the Moon's gravitational pull causes?
sun and the moon
How does earth sun and moon interact each other?
The Earth, Sun, and Moon interact through gravitational forces. The Sun's gravity keeps the Earth in orbit around it, and the Moon orbits the Earth due to Earth's gravity. The Moon's gravitational pull causes tides on Earth.
What causes the Moon to revolve around Earth?
The gravitational pull of the earth and the gravitation of the moon both contribute to make the moon orbit Earth. In a similar fashion, Earth orbits around the sun due to gravitational pull.
What causes high and low tides in earths oceans?
The rotation of the Earth and the gravitational pull of the Moon and the Sun.
The pull of the moon on Earth's tidal bulge is causing .?
The pull of the Moon - and, to a lesser degree, of the Sun - causes "tidal bulges". These bulges of water cause the high tides on Earth. The Moon's gravitational pull on the bulge of water nearest to the Moon, causes the Earth's rotation to very gradually slow down, due to frictional forces. Finally, (because of the need to conserve "angular momentum") it causes the Moon to gradually move away from Earth.
What causes the oceans tides?
Earth's tides are caused by the interaction of:the gravitational pull of the moonthe gravitational pull of the sunthe rotation of the Earth
Why do you get the tides?
Because both the moon and the sun have a gravtational pull on the earth. The water also experiences gravitational pull. This causes the water to rise.
What causes ocean tides?
The Sun i think NO!!! It's the gravitational pull of the MOON!!! As it pull the Earth from opposite sides, it causes the tides. This "pull" on the Earth elongates the Earth by about 8 ft in opposite directions. I really hope you didn't use the SUN answer as your final answer. :)
How does the moon infleunce the earth?
The moon influences the Earth by pulling the Earth towards it. This effect produces about 1 m rise of the oceans on one side of the Earth (the side closest to the moon). This causes the tides and when in line with the Sun both gravity from the Sun and the moon effect the Earth adding up and causing a much larger pull which causes the high tides.
