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 when the moon travels around the earth?
Some things that happen:* You see the Moon in different phases, as the angle Sun-Earth-Moon changes. * The tides, caused by the Moon and the Sun, become strongest when Sun, Earth and Moon are in a straight line, and weakest when they are at right angles.
How does the relative location of the sun moon and the earth affect the tides?
When the solar & lunar gravitational fields line up the tide are higher, when they don't line up the tides are lower.
How does the phases of the moon affect the tides at sea?
the phases of the moon don't affect tides. Tides are caused by the moon's gravity, the moon is always at the same distance from Earth. Sun also causes the tides. so if the sun and the moon are directed in the same place at Earth extra high tides occur.
Spring tides occur when the moon is in a?
When the moon is aligned to the sun and the earth: MOON --> EARTH --> SUN
Tides are highest when earth is in line with?
when the sun, earth, and the moon are nearly in a line
When do regular low and high tides occur?
low tides happen when the moon is not in a straight line and make an right angle and high tides is when the moon earth and sun are in a straight line
Are tides at their highest during neap tides?
No Neap tides are when the sun,earth, and moon form a right angle. This makes the the water on earth be pulled towards the sun and the moon. causing the tides to be very low. Spring tides are when tides are the highest because the earth,sun,and moon are in a line,causing very high tides.
When the sun moon and earth are all in line tides?
When the moon is either 180 degrees from the sun, or aligned with it. That is, if you could draw a straight line from the sun to the earth and out into space beyond, if the moon lands anywhere on that line, you have spring tides. In that alignment, you'll have either a new moon or a full moon.
What tides occur when the sun moon and earth line up?
It is a Spring Tide.
When the sun earth and moon line up they cause something special to happen to tides. What kinds of tides occur?
neap tides occur..
What is the Earth and tides are determined by the moon and pull.?
Earth's tides are determined by the moon's ________________ pull.
If the Moon's gravity barely holds a person on its surface but has enough gravitational pull to create the tides how can it move the ocean when it has so much less gravity than Earth?
The tides are the result of two forces, not just one. The gravity of both the Earth and the Moon keep the moon in orbit around the Earth. Part of the tides - the part facing the Moon - are caused by the attraction of the Moon. Part of the tides - the tide on the side of the Earth facing away from the Moon - is caused by the Earth's momentum. As the Earth is pulled away from a straight line by the Moon, the water - and the solid earth as well - follow a course which lifts them away from the Earth-Moon gravity well. Since water is much more fluid than solid earth, the tides are easily seen in the oceans. But the surface of the solid earth also rises up and down because of the Earth-Moon gravity. Since the Earth is spinning on its axis, the surface passes through the line between the Earth and the moon twice a day: once when it passes through the 'Moon Bulge" and once when it passes through the "Centrifugal Bulge." The Sun also adds its gravity to the tides. When the Moon and Sun line up, the tides are at the maximum. When the Sun and Moon are at 90° the tides are at their minimum.
What forces causes the earth's highest tides in the ocean?
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 is the moon's position when it's gravitational pull most strongly affects Earth's tides?
When the moon is in it's New Moon and Full Moon phase it's gravitational pull most strongly affects Earth's tides. These are called Spring Tides which are extremely high and low tides. This occurs because during these moon phases the sun, moon, and earth are in a straight line so the gravitational pull is stronger than usual, therefore, effecting the tides.
How does the moon affect the tides on the side of earth facing the moon?
There are high tides on the side of Earth facing the moon.
What happens when the moon travels around the earth?
Some things that happen:* You see the Moon in different phases, as the angle Sun-Earth-Moon changes. * The tides, caused by the Moon and the Sun, become strongest when Sun, Earth and Moon are in a straight line, and weakest when they are at right angles.
