How does the moon affect the oceans and seas?
The gravity of the moon pulls the water of the earth's oceans toward the moon, on both sides of the earth at the same time. High tide is when the ocean facing closest to the moon receives the most gravitational pull, and the other side of the earth, receiving the least gravity has low tide from the lowest gravitational pull. Other types of tide come from when the moon and the sun are both in front of the earth, and their is a larger tide then normal, or when the sun and the moon are on opposite sides of the earth, and the opposing gravitational pulls cause lower than usual tidal pulls.
Does the moon's gravity have anything to do with red tide?
While the moon's gravity does influence tides in the ocean, red tides are caused by an overgrowth of algae, not by the moon's gravitational pull. Red tides occur when algae populations rapidly increase due to factors like nutrient pollution, warm water temperatures, and calm seas.
What is the name of half moon tide?
The name of the tide during first and last quarters of the moon is called a neap tide. This tide occurs when the gravitational forces of the sun and moon are perpendicular to each other.
What are the effects of the earth and moon's movements?
The effects are the moon phases, eclipses, and the high tide and low tide.
When earths shadow falls on the moon the shadow causes a what?
Nope. In fact, over a very very long time, the effect of the moon's presence is to rob some of the Earth's rotation from it.
How does gravity affect high tide and low tide?
The moon does...... That's what my science teacher told me.

Why does the moon have a greater affect on earth tide than the sun?
The Moon is closer to Earth than the sun.
How does moon affect the weather?
water is cold so when the moon and the sun makes a tide the place with the tide would be cold.the reason that tides come is because of the gravity of the moon and the sun is pulling the water up to it.
How do you tell when its going to be high tide?
A good way of knowing when there is going to be High tides is when there is a full moon out, as the gravitational force of the moon effects our seas, thus giving us waves.
Are there really seas on the moon why?
There are no seas on the Moon, but it was believed that there were.
How other heavenly bodies affect the earth?
the moon has some sort of magnetism thing that controls whether water is high tide or low tide
How would 2 visible Moons in the night sky affect the Earth and life on it?
It might affect the tide because our moon controls that.
How does the moon affect the seas and why?
because, when the moon is in diffrent places it changes the gravitational pull of our atmosher which changes the tides :) or something like that!!!

What tide occurs during a full Moon and a new Moon?
wave tide
How will high tide and a full moon affect storm surge with Hurricane Sandy?
When the storm surge of a hurricane comes in at high tide the affect is worse, as the height of the high tide is added to the storm surge to produce a storm tide. The high tide is highest during the full and new moon phases.
