Without the earth's rotation, the only natural force controlling oceanic activity would be gravity. The sun and the moon would provide only a minor contribution to ocean behavior because of their distance to the earth. Ocean water would instantly attract towards the part of the earth where the center of the strongest gravity pull is taking place. Tides would centralize to this area and disturbed only by catastrophic weather phenomenon that may be provoked by climatic changes do to the lack of rotation.
answ2. The tides are caused by the attraction of gravity.On the side of the Earth nearest the Moon, the attraction of the Moon lessens the strength of the local perceived gravity field.On the side of the earth farthest from the Moon, the ocean there sees the gravitational pull of the whole Earth-Moon system, but the effective centre of this system is further away than the real centre of the earth. Thus the gravity field is seen as slightly less and there will be high tides there as well.When the Sun and the Moon are in alignment with the Earth, (New Moon), we have the strongest gravitational force and the tides are at their maximum height.When the Sun is on the opposite side of the Earth from the Moon, (Full Moon) then we have a weaker gravitational force, and the high tides are not quite as high as for the New Moon case.
When the Sun, Earth & Moon are in alignment with one another spring tides occur. Spring tides are higher than average. When the Sun - Earth line is at right angles to the Earth - Moon line, we see "neap" tides, which are lower than average.
The pull of the moon's gravity causes Earth's tides.
Tides are caused by both the Sun and The Moon. Tides are the result of both Gravity and momentum. Gravity attracts objects. This causes water on the Earth to rise up on the side of Earth facing the Sun and the Moon. Momentum tries to continue in the same direction. This causes water on the opposite side from the Sun and the Moon to rise up and keep going in the direction it was going as Earth turned away in response to the Sun's and the Moon's gravity. The Earth is also rotating. This brings different areas of the surface into line with the directions of gravity and momentum. To observers on the Earth, it appears that the tides rise and fall two times each day. But actually, the Earth's rotation has carried the person into the higher or lower regions caused by gravity and momentum. Since the Moon is orbiting the Earth, and the Earth is orbiting the Sun, sometimes there is an alignment between all these things. This causes the highest tides because the tides of both Sun and Moon will join together. The lowest tides occur when the Earth is at a 90° angle between the Sun and Moon. The tides of the Moon and Sun are at that time subtracting from each other.
if there were no moon, there would be no light in the sky at night (earth would be a lot darker at night, earth's days would be longer (earth will rotate slower), and there will be no tides (the moon pulls the tides)
They rotate around each other, and work together to create tides.
The gravity of the moon pulls water towards it. As the moon and earth rotate, the water levels raise and lower in different spots.
Presumably the question is about the Earth's rotation stopping. Eventually, the Earth WILL almost stop rotating on its axis and will become "tidally locked" with the Moon. Then the Earth Moon system will rotate with each facing the other, in "synchronous rotation". At that time and ignoring other things that might happen first, The Earth would no longer have tides. If you want to be really "picky" the Earth would still be rotating very slowly, in that scenario. If the Earth's rotation could stop completely, there would be some (very slow) tides. Also, there would still be a very small effect caused by the Sun.
Assuming the Moon and Sun still produce the effects they do today, the tides would be much bigger because the water would have 7 days to move in each direction, rather than the 6 hours it has now.
No. The Moon doesn't rotate with respect to Earth; the same side of the Moon always faces the Earth. So even if there were oceans with liquid water, there wouldn't be rising and falling tides as we have here.
Yes the earth has tides
Gravity pulls everything but water shows it. I am still looking for tides in a glass of water.
Yes, the tides gradually slow Earth's rotation.Yes, the tides gradually slow Earth's rotation.Yes, the tides gradually slow Earth's rotation.Yes, the tides gradually slow Earth's rotation.
If the moon did not rotate around Earth, it would likely drift away from our planet due to gravitational forces. This rotation is what keeps the moon in a stable orbit around Earth. Without it, the moon's position relative to Earth would change, potentially leading to significant disruptions in our planet's tides and climate.
Tides on earth are mainly caused by the moon's gravity and earth's rotation.
