The moons gravity pulls on the ocean, creating high and low tides. Depending on where the moon is located in contrast to where you are located, the moons gravity cause a spring tide, which is the largest hight range in high and low tides, and a neap tide, which is the least hight in high and low tides. I hope this helps. :)

Does the moon effect hurricanes?
No. The moon's gravity only affects the ocean tides. Interesting question though.

What role dose gravity play whit the ocean tides?
Its the driving force.
What is a large ocean wave caused by gravity of the sun and moon called?
Tide
How does gravity effect ocean water?
Gravity affects ocean water by pulling it towards the Earth's center, creating tides as the gravitational force between the Earth and the Moon causes the water to bulge. Gravity also influences ocean currents by affecting the circulation patterns of water around the globe.
Does the moon effect hurricanes?
No. The moon's gravity only affects the ocean tides. Interesting question though.
What are ocean currents made by?
Earth's Rotation (Coreolis Effect (spelling?)), Heat from the sun, gravity from the sun and moon.
Why does higher mass give the moon uneven gravity?
The moon has uneven gravity because of the pull of the earth. Imagine the moon's effect on the earth and the tides of the ocean. The earth has a much greater effect on the moon because it is several times larger.
How acceleration effect gravity?
Acceleration does not effect gravity. It is rather the other way round. Gravity can affect the rate of acceleration.
Where in the ocean can you see the gravitational pull of the moon and the ocean like a dent in the ocean being pushed by gravity or maybe its being lifted upwards and is visible?
The most obvious effect of the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun, is the tides visible on beaches.
How can erosions effect the ocean?
erosion can effect the ocean because when there is erosion the sand will effect the height or space of the beach or ocean
Discuss the effect of weight on gravity?
It is really the other way round - gravity has an effect on weight. The more gravity, the more weight.
What causes a ships iron anchor to sink to the ocean?
Gravity causes the ships iron anchor to sink to the ocean.
How does sun effect the salt in the ocean?
The Sun does not effect the salt in the ocean.
An Ocean a with current flow counterclockwise?
Oceans in the southern hemisphere flow counter clockwise. This is hugely due to the Coriolis effect. Gravity also plays a roll in this.
What ocean motion is caused by gravity?
no
