What else can I help you with?
What is it called when you get stuck in a certain part of the ocean and get sick?
This would be seasickness or motion sickness.
What part of the earth in motion due to density?
The ocean currents move because of different densities caused by ocean temperatures and salinity.
What forces the sea to go out?
The tides, for the most part, are caused my the gravitational influence of the moon
What ios the primary cause of earths ocean tides?
They are mainly caused by the gravitation of the Moon. More specifically, the Moon attracts the part of Earth that's closer to the Moon stronger than the part that is away from the Moon. To a lesser degree, tides are also caused by the Sun - for the same reason.
How does the Moon's gravity effects the tides on Earth?
The moons' gravity pulls on the part of the ocean water facing the moon making it higher so that it covers more of the shoreline.
How is the moon playing a role in changing the shape and gravity of earth's oceans?
The Moon's main influence is due to the tidal forces - meaning that the Moon attracts one side of Earth (the part that is closer to the Moon) more strongly than the side that is opposite to the Moon.
What part of ocean creates the sea floor?
acually its the moon, since it causes the tides to pound against the water making depth
How does the Moon contribute to Earth's tides?
The moon exerts a gravitational attraction on the Earth and on everything that is on the Earth. The oceans, being liquid, can respond to that attraction more freely than the solid crust does. The ocean is not going to leave the Earth and go flying away into space, because the Earth exerts a much larger gravitational attraction on the ocean than the moon does, but the moon still exerts enough force to alter the height of the ocean in various locations. The part of the ocean that faces the moon directly experiences the highest tide, being pulled in the direction of the moon, and the part that is farthest from the moon also has a high tide, since it experiences the least pull and it is facing away from the moon, so less pull allows it to retain more water; the low tides occur in the intermediate regions between the sides that face the moon or face away from the moon, because water is drawn away from those regions into the higher tide regions.
Is our Moon formed from the Crust of today's Pacific Ocean after some Impact hit that part of Earth?
There is a theory that suggests a comet hit the earth and possible broke off a chunk creating the moon.
When the lighted part of the moon grows it is a?
When the lighted part of the moon grows it is a "waxing moon".
What part of the moon is seen during full moon?
Only half part of the moon is seen during full moon.
Explain what causes us to see the different phases of the moon Include in your explanation a reference to the motion of the moon involved the relationship of the earth's and moon's plane of orbit a?
What you can see of the moon is the light of the sun on the moon. The part that is dark is where the sun's light is not shining on the moon. The part where the light of the sun is on the moon is experiencing "moon day" and where it is not shining is the "moon night." When the moon is in part of its orbit that is between the earth and the sun, we mostly see the part of the moon which is dark. Since the moon is on the sun's side of the earth, we see it during the day. So a New Moon can always be seen during the day. Conversely, when the moon is in the part of its orbit in which the earth is between the moon and the sun, we mostly see the part of the moon which is in sunshine. We mostly see the moon at night, and a Full Moon can always be seen during the night. It is important to note that the dark part of the moon is not the earth's shadow on the moon. The earth's shadow falls on the moon occurs during a lunar eclipse, which is always during a full moon because the earth is between the sun and the moon and always seen at night.
