What effect will the moon shrinking affect the earths waves?
If the size of the moon were to change, even if the moon somehow got crunched down to nothing and became a black hole, there would be no effect at all on the earth's ocean tides. But if the moon's mass or its distance from earth changed, then either change would have a big effect on the tides. But in order to calculate the exact effects, we'd need to know the actual numbers.
Is the tides caused by the moon?
Yes, The moon's gravity pulls the water up and pushes it back down, making what we know as Tides.Yes
What are three things that the moon affects here on earth?
the one thing i know the moon does is affect the water tides (Low & High)
What would happen if the moon were to disappear?
If the moon suddenly vanished, since the moon is the creator of tides, all the oceans would come rushing to the side of the earth pointing to the sun. We would have the exact same size of tides occurring at the same time each day. Life would be much different and have to be different because we'd be covered in water for like half a day. Scientists believe the moon is currently getting inches and inches away from the earth each year. I watched a program about it on the discovery channel and this is how I know this. Oh, and we would all die.That's correct but, if the moon were getting inches and inches away from the earth each year, it would rule out Newton's first law, an object in motion will stay in motion and an object at rest will stay at rest unless acted on by an unbalanced force,because of inertia and gravity the moon doesn't crash into the earth due to the moon's inertia it stays revolving around the earth. Due to the mass of of the earth it has enough gravity to pull the moon toward it. The theory of something that crashed into earth the size of mars and the moon formed, scientist have found reasons to reject this and other theories.Just thought that should be known.By someone random: we wouldn't know if it's night or day.
What would happen If the moon blew up?
We would be in very serious trouble. Apart from missing something beautiful, we would have seriously reduced tides, by almost two-thirds. The tide cycles are important for the sustaining of various kinds of life along earth's shores, and tides create important currents that help sustain much of the sea life we have living today. Even worse, the moon has helped to regulate and stabilize earth's rotation on its axis. In the long term, earth's tilt would go haywire, due to tugs and pulls by the sun and the other planets. The seasons as we know them would shift and change with disastrous results. At some point, earth's axis may even become close to coplanar with the ecliptic-- the poles would point directly toward the sun a couple of times per year. If the moon disappeared, there's no doubt that the consequences would be dire.
Why would it be helpful to know the times of tides if you are the captain of a fishing boat?
If you don't know the tides you might get stuck in port when you want to go to sea or be unable to get back into port and get stuck at sea
Who needs to know the times and heights tides?
scientist
What is spring tided?
i dont know........i need help...geeze
How many times in a day do tides usually occur on the Texas coast?

Who needs to know the tides and hieghts of tides?
sciencist
What times during the day are canonical hours?
I would help, but I don't know what a canonical hour is.
How do you stay unthirsty when you have no water?
Dont know really but if you swallow 5 times it would probably help
What time or times of the month will the higher high tides called spring tide occur?
u know its about twise a month im a archeogolos beware
Give one reason why seafarer's like to know the time of high tides and low tides?
So the seafarers will know if they will travel safely or not for instance: the tide is high,,,, the seafarers know it the know that they wont be safe in high tides but in low tides ,the sea level might not be high enough for their boat to ride on safely
Why people who lives in coastal area should know about waves and tides?
People in coastal areas should learn about tides and waves in order to predict the best times for using the beach, to prevent accidents, and to stay alert for dangers, such as storm surges
What would a boater use a tidal table for?
They would use it to know when the tides are in and out, which could be important for them when they are planning a journey. If they are going into a port with a large boat and the tide was too low, they could run aground. If they are trying to launch a boat from land, they would want a high tide to make it easier. There are lots of other reasons why they would want to know what the tides are at, so the tidal tables would be important for them.
What would the earth be like for the last humans if an asteroid perturbed the Moon's orbit sending it into a decaying orbit into the earth over a long period of time?
The earth would drown in sea water so the humans would you know... The moon creats tides so no tides would drown the eath or dry it out
