What occurs on the side of Earth that is closest to the moon and on the opposite side of earth?
Its day on the other side. Both sides have high tides while the other two has low tides.
Does a low tide occur at the point on earths farthest from the moon?
The point closest to the moon and the point exactly opposite it on the other side of Earth both have high tides, while the 'sides' of the Earth, in between the high tides, have low tides.Because the moon only has a force on Earth's oceans.
What three forces cause tides?
It is mainly gravitational forces from the Sun and Moon that cause tides, but the rotation of the earth has a tiny effect on it.
What is the dominant cause of tides on earth?
Gravitational force is, between the Earth and both the sun and moon.
Do gravitational forces create high or low tides?
For Earth, both high and low tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the Moon.
Do tides occur at the same time?
No. Tides are generated by the combined gravity of the Sun and the Moon on the Earth's oceans. The Moon goes around the Earth each month, so the tides will vary both in time and in magnitude depending on the relative positions of the Earth, Sun and Moon.
Why do you have tide?
When the earth rotates, it has the gravitational pull like o the earth and so does the Sun. When the Sun and the moon pull at the same time they make it bulge out on both sides. The way i remember it is when you squish a rubber band and it comes out on both sides evenly, it does the same thing as the Earth does. Also, wherever the moon is, is where you will have high tide because its where the biggest bulge is. You will also have high tide on the opposite side because of the Sun. The other sides is where there is low tide. Example: When the Sun, moon and Earth are all in a straight line, high tides would be where the moon and Sun is (on the sides) and the low tides would be on the top and bottom.
Do moons gravity pull water to make tides?
Both the Moon's and the Sun's force of gravity "pull" on Earth's land and oceans to create tides ( high tides on both the 'near' side as well as the 'far' side of Earth. Of course, the tidal water moves a lot more than land does, so it is easier to notice. Also, Earth's and Sun's gravity make tides in the land on the Moon, too.
Does the sun help cause ocean tides?
Yes, the Sun does have a large effect. When the Sun and Moon are both on the same side of the Earth is when the tides are the largest.
Which organ does not appear on both sides of the body?
the liver
Ions that appear on both sides of a chemical equation are?
Ions that appear on both sides of the equation are spectator ions. These ions do not participate in the reaction at all. Thus, they are omitted when writing the net ionic formula of a reaction.
Compare neap and spring tides Give two comparisons in your answer?
Spring and Neap tides are alike because they are both affected by the gravitational pull of the moon and because they are both caused by the alignment of the earth, moon, and the sun.
