When the moon is full, the earth expierences a spring tide. A spring tide includes High high tides and low, low tides. This is due to the gravitational pull of the sun is cooperating with the moons gravitational pull therefore creating high tides on opposite ends of the earth and the same for the lows.

∙ 13y agoAt times of full Moon and new Moon, when the Earth, Moon and Sun are all in a line, the tides are greatest. The high tide is highest and the low tide is lowest. These are called Spring Tides. The name is connected to the sort of spring where water wells up out of the ground; it is nothing to do with the season of Spring.

Sun and Earth are in line causing these "spring tides", as they are known.

What does the Moon's gravitational pull causes?
sun and the moon
What pull causes tidal currents?
Gravitational pull of the moon
Why does the revolution of the moon along with the Moon's gravity create spring tides?
The Earth's gravitational attraction to the Moon causes spring tides. The area of Earth closest to the moon will experience the gravitational pull of the moon. The oceans react to this gravitational pull by creating a bulge on the side of Earth that faces the moon.
What force causes tides?
The gravitational pull of the Moon and the Sun on the oceans produce tides.
What are the two main factors that influence tides on earth?
Gravitational by the sun, Venus and the moon.
What does the Moon's gravitational pull causes?
sun and the moon
What causes a bulge to be created on the opposite side of the moon?
The gravitational pull of the earth causes a bulge on the opposite side of the moon. The gravitational pull of the earth is greater than the gravitational pull of the sun.
What pull causes tidal currents?
Gravitational pull of the moon
Which position of the moon causes the graetest gravitational pull in one directio on earth?
The moon's position males virtually no difference to the strength of its gravitational pull.
What causes ocean tides to rise and fall?
The gravitational pull of the moon.
What causes a tide to occur?
The gravitational pull of the moon on the Earth's oceans.
What causes sea level change?
The moon and it's gravitational pull
What is lunar pull?
It is he Gravitational pull from the moon...This also causes high tide and low tide.
How does the moon affect the earth's oceans?
The moons gravitational pull is what causes tides.
What does the Moon's gravitational pull do to the tides on earth?
It causes the tides (together with the sun).
What are tides in the science form?
The moon's gravitational pull on the earth is what causes tides.
What causes the rise and fall of the tides?
The position of the moon because of its gravitational pull.
