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 earths water to evaporate?
The heat from the sun causes water to evaporate. ***** The wind blowing over the surface of the ocean will also help evaporation.
How does energy in earths interior cause changes to earths surface?
The energy from the core of the earth causes currents in the molten layers, the way there are currents in the ocean. These currents are what causes the Tectonic Plates to move along the surface of the earth.
Where is earths most water?
In the Ocean.
Where is most of earths liquide water?
The ocean
The moon has the greatest effect on earths?
ocean tides
What are Causes or driving forces that affect currents in the ocean?
The main driving force is wind, but it is also affected by the earths rotation, solar energies, and gravity.
What causes surface ocean currents to flow in a circular pattern or earths revolution earths revolutoin or earths rotation?
Gyres
What happens on the side of earths opposite the moon?

What cause ocean ridges to form?
earths crust causes it
What causes forces that affect currents in the ocean?
the uneven heating of the earth and change in the weather.

How does subduction change the ocean floor?
Subductions causes the ocean floor to sink into deep-ocean trenches and the earths plates move apart from molten rock or magma ana the earths crusts rises a departs. Thank You, Professor Einstien
What is the earths youngest ocean?
The Atlantic Ocean.
Where is most of the earths water?
the ocean
What is the effect of rotation of earth?
The earths rotation causes day and night, wind, tides and ocean currents and its also responsible for the different seasons.
Which is the earths northmost ocean?
