When the moon pulls on the water in the ocean, it creates tidal friction that slows down the Earth's rotation. So basically, the body tide caused by the moon sloshing the water around messes with our planet's smooth moves. Ultimately, who cares if the day gets a fraction of a second longer every once in a while, am I right?
What else can I help you with?
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 the Moon's movement effect the tides?
The moons gravity 'pulls' the earths water creating a 'tide.'
Why does the position of Jupiter not strongly affect the ocean tides?
Because the moons tide is stronger than jupiters, And jupiter is farther from earth
When does a flood tide occur?
'Flood tide' is the expression used for the incoming, or rising tide. The opposite is 'Ebb tide' when it goes back out again. You would have to refer to the tide tables, for the day, in your area of interest. Flood tide is the time between low tide and the next high tide.
What causes the Moon's high tides?
The Moon's high tides are caused by its gravitational pull on Earth's water. As the Moon orbits Earth, it creates a bulge in the water on the side facing the Moon, causing a high tide. There is also a second high tide on the opposite side of Earth due to the centrifugal force from Earth's rotation.
What is the greatest influence on earths tide?
the moon (Dur)
Why do you track tides?
Well if you were going some where the tide could affect your speed. The tide could affect the time it would take you to get there. The tide could affect the amount of fuel you would burn. The tide could affect the water depth. The tide could affect the clearance you have if you are going to go under a bridge. So check your tide chart. If you go with the tide you save time and fuel.
What objects causes the earth tides?
The moon causes the earths water to have a low tide or a high 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.
Does a tide affect a wave?
no
When the gravitational pulls of the sun and moon partially cancel each other out earths experiences a tide?
High tide maybe
What are three answers for how the moon affects earths water?
tide is one
How does gravity affect oceans?
Gravity can pull water in and out, causing tide like motions. The gravity of the moon and sun, for example pull on the earths oceans and cause high and low tides.
What factors cause a rising tide?
A rising tide, or high tide, is primarily caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and, to a lesser extent, the sun on Earth’s oceans. As the moon orbits the Earth, its gravitational force creates bulges of water, leading to higher water levels in certain areas. Additionally, the Earth's rotation and the shape of coastlines can influence tide patterns. Changes in atmospheric pressure and wind can also temporarily affect tide levels.
What are the strongest tide making effect?
The moon has the strongest effect on the earths tides.
What CASSES ocean tide?
the moon and the earths gravity pulling each other
What happens on the side of earths opposite the moon?
it causes a high tide in the ocean
