How does the phases of the moon affect the tides at sea?

the phases of the moon don't affect tides. Tides are caused by the moon's gravity, the moon is always at the same distance from Earth. Sun also causes the tides. so if the sun and the moon are directed in the same place at Earth extra high tides occur.


Why is the moon connected to the sea?

The gravitational pull of the moon creates tides in the Earth's oceans. As the moon orbits the Earth, its gravity causes the water in the oceans to bulge, creating high and low tides. This connection between the moon and the sea is known as tidal influence.


Who was child of Poseidon who controlled the tides?

Charybdis, who was a sea monster or goddess whose gigantic whirlpool swirled in the straits of Messina, opposite the cliffs of the monster Skylla.

Aristotle also clearly identified her with the tides.


Does the moon affect the sea's tide?

Yes, the moon has a lot of affect on the sea'a tides. This is due to the gravitational pull. The moon has a lot more affect on the tides than the sun does. This is due to the moon being much closer to the earth than the sun.


What is the term for a ridge of coral in the sea that may be covered by high tides and exposed at low tides?

The term for a ridge of coral in the sea that may be covered by high tides and exposed at low tides is a "coral reef." Coral reefs are diverse underwater ecosystems formed by the secretion of calcium carbonate by corals. They provide habitats for a wide range of marine life and are important for biodiversity and coastal protection.
