What causes the tides the rise and fall of sea water everyday?
The gravitational attraction from the Moon and Sun, causes the tides.
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 are wind and water erosion not likely to effect?
Wind and water erosion are not likely to affect the tides. Tides result from the gravitational attraction of the sun and moon on the oceans of the earth.
What pull of the gravity on seawater causes?
The pull of gravity on sea water is from the moon. This causes tides. Like when you are at the beach low tides and high tides occur right? So, the moon pulls on the earth and the water follows the moon's gravitational pull. Hope this helped:)
Tide result from pull of gravity exerted upon the earth by what or is it nothing?
Yes, Tides are periodic rises and falls of large bodies of water. Tides are caused by the gravitational interaction between the Earth and the Moon. The gravitational attraction of the moon causes the oceans to bulge out in the direction of the moon. Another bulge occurs on the opposite side, since the Earth is also being pulled toward the moon
What force causes tides?
The gravitational pull of the Moon and the Sun on the oceans produce tides.
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.
What causes the tides in the oceans and other large bodies of water on earth?
the moon
The part of the moon that causes tides?
The moons mass in general causes the tides. Mass has gravity, and the moon is massive enough for its gravity to pull noticeably on the oceans.
What causes tides to be low?
When the moon is farther from the earth. Tides become low because there is less pull on the oceans from the moon.
What happens to earth's oceans when the moon pulls on earth?
The oceans shift slightly with the moon's pull, which causes a phenomenon known as tides.
What causes the water to cycle?
The gravity of the moon pulls the oceans and makes low and high tides.
Do the oceans features effect waves and tides?
no oceans do not effect waves and tides
What causes high and low tides in earths oceans?
The rotation of the Earth and the gravitational pull of the Moon and the Sun.
What is between the moon and earth causes tides in oceans?
Mutual gravitational forces between the Earth and Moon are.
What is the pull of gravity between earth and the moon was much less how would this affect the oceans?
This causes tides on Earth.
