Even though you may not see it because of the sun The moon may be present in the morning sky; However even if it is not - tides are still present. Each day the earth revolves one full turn so the moon rises and sets each day - pulling on the oceans - causing tides.
One thing to keep in mind is that the motion of the water as the tides change are not instantaneous and there is a significant delay in the actual movement caused by the moon.
In addition the gravitational pull of the sun has a significant effect on tides as well.

What is the term for a ridge of coral in the sea that may be covered by high tides and exposed at low tides?
The term for a ridge of coral in the sea that may be covered by high tides and exposed at low tides is a "coral reef." Coral reefs are diverse underwater ecosystems formed by the secretion of calcium carbonate by corals. They provide habitats for a wide range of marine life and are important for biodiversity and coastal protection.
Does the Sun's gravity affect the earth's tides?
Yes, the Sun's gravitational pull also contributes to the Earth's tides. Although it is weaker than the Moon's pull, it still has an influence on the tides. When the Sun, Moon, and Earth are aligned during a full or new Moon, their gravitational forces combine to create higher high tides (spring tides), and when they are at right angles during the first or third quarter Moon, they create lower high tides (neap tides).
How does moon impact tidal behavior of oceans on earth?
The moon and the earth both have magnetic fields and these are what makes the two attract. When the moon a full moon, more of the moon is seen and therefore more of the force is affected the tides. So, the fuller the moon, the higher the tides. I also believe that the sodium chloride present in the sea waters has some affect on the tides.
Why will the tides be different in a billion years?
The tides are primarily influenced by the gravitational pull of the Moon. Over a billion years, the gravitational interactions between the Moon and Earth will change due to various factors such as tidal friction and the Moon's distance from Earth, leading to differences in the tides compared to what we experience today.
What are the three types of tides?
The three types of tides are diurnal tides (one high tide and one low tide each day), semi-diurnal tides (two high tides and two low tides each day), and mixed tides (where there are two high tides and two low tides, but the heights vary).
Hiw are tides formed?
tides are waves
What happens if the earth had no moon?
The tides would be smaller, but still present due to the Sun's gravity. It would be somewhat darker on most nights.
What would happen to the tides as a result?
If the moon were to be destroyed there would still be tides. This would be because of the sun still being in assistance and affecting the tides.
What tide is formed when the moon sun and earth are lined up?
Spring tides.
How tides are formed?
the moon pules the water, wind can also cause it
What tide forms when water is drawn away from the area between high tides?
Tidal pools are formed when water is drawn away from an area between high tides.
What moon phases would be present during neap tides?
nutsacks and suck my balls
If the earth didn't rotate would the earth still have tides?
No
How can sun's gravity cause tides on Earth?
Gravity pulls everything but water shows it. I am still looking for tides in a glass of water.
How are low tides formed?
The Moon's Gravity Causes the waves to form.
How are salts deposit formed?
High tides flood the salt pans with sea water which evaporates to leave behind salt deposits. This is how salt deposits are formed.
How many times a day does a tide come?
Tides come on shore twice a day everyday. Once in the morning and once at night.
