Tides can impact daily activities for those living by the coast, influencing fishing, beach access, and boating. It can also affect infrastructure planning and maintenance for coastal communities to mitigate flooding and erosion risks. Additionally, tides can influence marine life behavior and habitats, impacting livelihoods dependent on coastal resources.
The moon has the greatest influence on tides due to its gravitational pull on Earth's oceans. The sun also has an impact, but to a lesser extent.
No. Tides on Earth are caused mainly by the Moon, and by the Sun. If the Moon and the Sun are aligned - on the same side, or on opposite sides of the Earth - tides are stronger than when they are at a right angle. There are also tides on other planets, caused by their corresponding moons.
No. The moon's gravity only affects the ocean tides. Interesting question though.
The moon has a greater effect on tides than the sun. This is because the moon is closer to Earth and its gravitational pull is stronger, causing bulges in the ocean that create high and low tides. The sun's gravitational pull also contributes to tides, but to a lesser extent.
* when the sun, moon, and earth are in a line * when the gravitational forces of the Moon and the Sun are perpendicular to one another with respect to the Earth (I'm on FLVS too and I just submitted this. xD.)
The moon's pull on gravity affects the ocean's tides.
No, the moon affects the tides, but the tides do not affect the moon.
the moon.
Gravity is the force that creates and affects the tides.
the moon.
The moon affects the tides, so catching fish has nothing to do with it.
It creates the tides.
Tides are unaffected by sunlight. The gravity attraction from the Moon and the Sun, plus the rotation of the Earth is what affects the ebb and flood of the tides.
It's actually the moon which affects the tides, due to its gravitational pull.
it's gravity disturbs the oceans. can cause giant waves.
The moon affects the Tides.
The proximity of the moon affects all tides. When combined with other effects, spring tides occur
