What happens to the tides when the moon and sun form a 90 degree angle with earth?
Nothing happens
What happens if the moon disappeared?
asteriods would hit earth,spinning faster,ocean tides reduced etc
What is the Earth and tides are determined by the moon and pull.?
Earth's tides are determined by the moon's ________________ pull.
What happens to the tides when the sun and moon are both pulling in the same direction?
Very high tides, known as King Tides. To quote Wikipedia: "The king tides occur when the earth, moon and sun are aligned at perigee and perihelion, resulting in the largest tidal range seen over the course of a year."
What are the relative positions of the Earth the Moon and the Sun on a full moon and a new moon?
For a "spring tide" to occur, the Sun and Moon are lined up with the Earth; either near the new moon or near the full moon. This is because the Sun and the Moon each cause their own tidal forces on the Earth's oceans, and when the forces are lined up, they add together.A "neap tide" occurs when the tidal forces of the Sun and the Moon work at right angles to each other, lessening the total effect of the tides. This happens when the Sun, Moon and Earth form a triangle pattern. This happens at the first or third quarter phases of the Moon.
What do you call tides that occur when the sun earth and moon align?
A Spring tide.
When the sun and moon align at full moon and pull on Earth together the higher high tides and lower low tides are called?
Spring tides.
Why do you have spring tides?
Because the sun, the Earth, and the Moon align in the following order: Sun, Earth, Moon.
What happens to the tides when the moon and the sun form a 90 angle with earth?

What happens when the moon sun and earth are lined up to the waves?
You have Spring Tides
Does the earth have tides?
Yes the earth has tides
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 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.
