What else can I help you with?
Spring tides occur when the moon is in a?
When the moon is aligned to the sun and the earth: MOON --> EARTH --> SUN
What happens if the moon disappeared?
asteriods would hit earth,spinning faster,ocean tides reduced etc
What does the gravitational effect on the moon got to do with the rise and fall of the sea?
It is not the gravitional effect ON the moon, but the gravitional effect OF the moon. The moon pulls on the earth, just as the earth pulls on the moon. The pull of the moon causes water to be drawn towards the moon, and forms a "bump" in the level of water. As the earth rotates below the water, the raised part of the water has the effect of making the water get deeper, then shallower. Those are the tides.
What happens when the gravitational forces of the Sun and the moon combine?
When the gravitational forces of the Sun and the Moon combine, it results in tidal forces on Earth. These tidal forces cause the ocean water to bulge out towards the Sun and the Moon, creating high and low tides. The Sun and Moon's gravitational forces work together to influence the Earth's tides in a complex way.
What is the Earth and tides are determined by the moon and pull.?
Earth's tides are determined by the moon's ________________ pull.
What do you call tides that occur when the sun earth and moon align?
A Spring tide.
When the sun and moon align at full moon and pull on Earth together the higher high tides and lower low tides are called?
Spring tides.
What is the difference between a neap tide and a spring tide?
A neap tide occurs when the sun, moon, and Earth form a right angle, resulting in weaker tides. A spring tide happens when they align, causing stronger tides.
Why do you have spring tides?
Because the sun, the Earth, and the Moon align in the following order: Sun, Earth, Moon.
Why does a king tide occur?
A king tide occurs when the gravitational forces of the sun, moon, and Earth align, causing higher-than-normal tides. This phenomenon happens a few times a year when the moon is closest to the Earth in its orbit.
Explain the role of the sun and the moon in causing tides on earth?
The sun and moon's gravitational pull on Earth's oceans causes tides. The moon's gravitational pull is stronger due to its proximity, creating two high tides and two low tides each day as the Earth rotates. The sun's gravitational pull also affects tides, with spring tides occurring when the sun, moon, and Earth align, creating higher high tides and lower low tides.
Spring tides occur when the moon is in a?
When the moon is aligned to the sun and the earth: MOON --> EARTH --> SUN
What happens to the tides when the moon and the sun form a 90 angle with earth?
Nothing happens
What happens to the tides when the moon and the sun form almost a 90 degree with earth?
Nothing happens
What happens if the moon disappeared?
asteriods would hit earth,spinning faster,ocean tides reduced etc
What happens to the tides when the moon and the sun form almost a 90 degrees angle with earth?
Nothing happens
What happens when the moon sun and earth are lined up to the waves?
You have Spring Tides
