Yes they do that is why if you go to a beach during "low tide" there will be Debries or ocean life pushed up along a certain line. That line is the high tide line. The oceans have tres because of the way the moon's gravitational pull works.

∙ 10y agoEvery day there are about 2 high and low tides. They are approximately 12 hours and 25 minutes apart. This phenomenon occurs because of gravitational attraction between the earth and the moon. But because the moon has too little mass to pull the earth towards it, it pulls the ever moving oceans towards it creating the high and low tides we have today.

∙ 9y agoHigh tide is caused by the moon's gravity pulling on the ocean water causing it to bulge. During one of these bulges is high tide. Elsewhere at the same time the water is pulled away causing low tide.

What is productivity in temperate oceans determined by?
Productivity in temperate oceans is determined by the tides. The bigger the wave, the less productivity will be present. Low tide means high productivity in tide pools along the shore.
What has most influence on ocean tides?
The Moon! The moon has a fairly strong gravitational force, and this pulls the water in our oceans from one side of earth to the other as the moon goes around us.
Ocean tides are caused by what?
Tides are mainly caused by the pull of the moon.
Can lions jump really high?
Yes Lions can jump very very high
Why do estuaries have high npp?
There are a number of reasons for estuaries' high NPP. Estuaries are nutrient-rich, with both rivers and tides bringing in nutrients. These are then added to the nutrients released by the decomposition of detritus and nitrogen-fixing bacteria. Estuarine producers are particularly adapted to live on muddy bottoms. Also, very few organisms graze on primary producers like salt-marsh grasses.
What tides are not very high and not very low?
Neap tides.
What are tides that are not very high and not very low?
Neap tides.
What are not very high and not very low tides called?
Neap tides.
Do the oceans features effect waves and tides?
no oceans do not effect waves and tides
Is the moon effect earth?
yes. it's the cause of high and low tides in our oceans
What are low tides and high tides?
High tides and low tides are the effects of the moon's gravitational pull on our oceans. As the moon orbits the earth, it pulls the ocean with its gravity. Giving the result of high tide being closest to the moon and low tide to be on the opposite side of the Earth.
What causes the water to cycle?
The gravity of the moon pulls the oceans and makes low and high tides.
What phase of the moon when have a very high tides occur?
spring tides
What causes high and low tides in earths oceans?
The rotation of the Earth and the gravitational pull of the Moon and the Sun.
What are extreme tides called?
Extra high tides are called spring tides and extra low tides are called neap tides ********************************************* Spring high tide is a tide that is very high and reaches high up the beach. Spring low tide is a tide that is very low and goes far down the beach. Neap tides are the high and low water tides that range over the beach between the Spring tide marks.
What is the relationship between high tides and phases of the moon?
Very simply put. The tides are an effect of the moons gravity on our oceans and seas. The earth rotates. The gravitational affect of the moon affects different parts of the ocean at different times of the 'day'. Moon and Sun line up at New Moon and Full Moon to give especially high tides.
What type of tides do most of the worlds oceans experince?
Mixed tides.
