Tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the moon, rising and falling as the moon orbits the earth AND the earth turns.

What causes the patterns of surface currents in the ocean?
The Earth rotating and its tilt of the axis forms the oceans' tides and currents.
What are spring tides and neap tides in patterns governed by?
the sun, moon and wind
How many tides does earth have everyday?
Earth has a total of 4 tides a day 2 high tides and 2 low tides.
What are the tides on earth mainly caused by?
Tides on earth are mainly caused by the moon's gravity and earth's rotation.
What planets influence tides?
None of the planets influence the tides on Earth. Only the moon, which is not a planet, has a major impact on tides on Earth.
Spring and neap tides occur in a patterns governed by?
the relative positions of Earth,moon,and sun(the phases of the moon)

Does the earth have tides?
Yes the earth has tides
If earth did not turn how would the tide patterns be affected?
Presumming that the Moon doesn't stop, the tides would change about twice a month.
Do tides control the way the earth spins?
Yes, the tides gradually slow Earth's rotation.Yes, the tides gradually slow Earth's rotation.Yes, the tides gradually slow Earth's rotation.Yes, the tides gradually slow Earth's rotation.
What effect does global warming have on tides?
Tides are the result of gravitational forces between the Earth and moon. Global warming would little effect on tidal patterns although sea levels can be affected by global warming.
How many tides does earth have everyday?
Earth has a total of 4 tides a day 2 high tides and 2 low tides.
What are Tides on Earth are causes by?
Tides on earth are mainly caused by the moon's gravity and earth's rotation.
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 is causeing the rotation of the earthsto slow down?
Friction related to the tides. Since the energy that produces the tides comes from the Earth's rotation, it follows that whenever energy is lost in the tides, the Earth's rotation will slow down.Friction related to the tides.
