high tide and low tide
Just as Earth's gravity attracts the moon, the moon's gravity affects Earth.
Being much smaller, its gravity is weaker and just pulls on the ocean. Tides change throughout the day due to the Sun and Moon's changing positions relative to Earth.
Because the Sun also affects tides, the tides are highest during noon and midnight. In between, they just rise and fall slowly.
The moon's gravity pulls the ocean and causes tides.

What has the most influence on ocean tides?
The biggest influence on Earths tides comes from the gravitational effects from the Moon.
Does earth orbit causes change in the tides?
No. The biggest influence on the tides is the moons gravitational pull.
What is the same about neap tides and spring tides?
They are both affected by the moons gravitional pull, but from different extremes.
Are ocean tides inexhaustible?
yes they are inexable because if the ocean is here then so will water tides
What phase of the moon produce the highest and lowest tides on earth?
When the Moon is at Full and at Dark (New), tides are strongest. These are called "spring" tides. When the Moon is at First and Last Quarter, the tides are weakest. These are called "neap" tides.The reason is that the Solar tides are either added to, or subtracted from, the Lunar tides.
What is the main substance affected by the moons gravity?
The tides of the ocean.
What did Isaac Newton say sbout tides?
the moons gravity pulls on the ocean water as the earth revolves on its axes, causing tides
What has the most influence on ocean tides?
The biggest influence on Earths tides comes from the gravitational effects from the Moon.
How does gravity affect tides?
Tidal movements result mainly from the pull of the moons gravity on the ocean.
How does gravity effect the ocean?
The moons gravity pulls on the ocean, creating high and low tides. Depending on where the moon is located in contrast to where you are located, the moons gravity cause a spring tide, which is the largest hight range in high and low tides, and a neap tide, which is the least hight in high and low tides. I hope this helps. :)
What role dose gravity play whit the ocean tides?
Its the driving force.
What Moon phases causes Spring tides?
Spring tides are caused by new and full moons. Neap tides are caused by 1st and 3rd quarter moons.
Why does the position of Jupiter not strongly affect the ocean tides?
Because the moons tide is stronger than jupiters, And jupiter is farther from earth
What are daily changes in the elevation of the ocean called?
Tide is the answer.
What is wave and tide?
Well for those of u who must know, waves are ocean currents created by wind. Tides are ocean currents created from the push and the pull of the sun and the moons gravity.
What is the cause of tides in sea?

What is a cause of the tides in the seas?
