When do the tides and moon phases change?

The tides change daily. It takes six hours for the tide to come in then there is a half hour of full tide then the tide turns and takes six hour to go out It takes six hours to go out and stays at low tide for half an hour etc. The moon phase change on a monthly cycle. The moons waxes (gets bigger) then wanes (gets smaller) The size of the full tides is connected to the size of the moon phase at the time


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.


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.


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 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 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.


Does the size of a tide depend on the wind?

No, it depands on the phase of the moon No. The tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the Sun and Moon, and modified locally by the shape of the coastline. However storm waves will reach that much further at high tide.
