The pull of the moon's gravity on the ocean causes the tides. When the moon is over water its pull causes the water to bulge (rise toward the moon) as the Earth rotates below the moon this bulge moves. Wherever the bulge is there's high tide. Everywhere else where the water has been pulled away from to make the bulge is low tide.
What else can I help you with?
Which is greater the moon's pull on earth or earths pull on the moon?
The moon is only strong enough to push and pull the tides in the ocean on earth. The earths pull is so strong it moves the entire moon in circles.
Does the sun or moon have more affect on tides?
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.
What does the pull of the moon have to do with ocean tides?
The gravity of the Moon. The gravitation of the Earth and the Moon work on each other. The side of the Earth nearest the Moon receives the greatest effect of the Moon's gravitational pull, creating the bulge in the ocean and high tide beneath the Moon. The bulge on the far side of the Earth is being spun away centrifugally from the center of the combined Earth-Moon mass.
What currents are the result of the sun and moon?
The sun and moon primarily influence ocean currents through their gravitational effects, which create tides. The gravitational pull of the moon has a stronger impact due to its proximity, leading to the formation of tidal currents that rise and fall approximately every six hours. The sun's gravitational pull also contributes to tidal patterns but is less significant than that of the moon. These tidal movements can affect larger ocean currents, influencing global circulation patterns over time.
Why the highest tides occur during a new moon or a full moon?
it is when the gravitational pull of the moon is the strongest so it creates huge bulges of the ocean water
What is the ocean is changed by?
The ocean tides have to do with the moon and the gravitational pull between the moon and the Earth.
Does the pull of the moon create tides?
Yes,the gravitational pull of the moon actually does create tides at night time, when it is close to Earth
Which is greater the moon's pull on earth or earths pull on the moon?
The moon is only strong enough to push and pull the tides in the ocean on earth. The earths pull is so strong it moves the entire moon in circles.
What are the things that affect the height of an ocean wave?
the pull of the moon's gravity on the ocean.
Where does ocean tidal come from?
Ocean tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the Moon.
How do ocean waves travel?
the gravitational pull of the moon
What is the gravitational pull of the sun and the moon?
The regular rising and falling of ocean water due to the gravitational pull of the Sun and Moon is called
What energy results in an ocean tide?
gravitatonal pull by the moon
What brings energy the ocean water?
The moon's gravitational pull.
What is the large body affects the ocean's tides?
The moon's pull on gravity affects the ocean's tides.
What is the gravitational pull of the sun and moon is called?
The regular rising and falling of ocean water due to the gravitational pull of the Sun and Moon is called
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.
