What causes the tides in the oceans and other large bodies of water on earth?
the moon
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 affects the oceans tides on earth?
the moon.
What force causes tides?
The gravitational pull of the Moon and the Sun on the oceans produce tides.
Does Earth also causes tides on the Moon?
Earth also affect the Moon, but since there was no oceans or surface water on the moon, the effect is not noticeable in any visible way.
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.
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
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 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 can affect the Earth's oceans?
There are many ways, but the main reason is pollution.
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
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 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 affects the oceans tides on earth?
the moon.
How do tides destroy land?
Tides are caused by the moon The moon has a gravitational pull on Earth's oceans/rivers/bodies of water. This causes a buldge in the oceans: one on each side. The buldges remain almost in the same place, so as the Earth rotates, the buldges 'move' around the Earth.
