Supermoons occur when the Moon is at its closest point to Earth in its orbit, resulting in a larger apparent size and increased gravitational pull. This enhanced gravity affects ocean tides, causing higher high tides and lower low tides, known as "spring tides." The combination of the Moon's proximity and its gravitational force leads to more pronounced tidal fluctuations during supermoons.

What cause moons gravity?
It causes the tides. Tides are also caused - to a lesser degree - by Sun's gravity.
Is the moon the only thing that affects tides?
No. Tides on Earth are caused mainly by the Moon, and by the Sun. If the Moon and the Sun are aligned - on the same side, or on opposite sides of the Earth - tides are stronger than when they are at a right angle. There are also tides on other planets, caused by their corresponding moons.
Are tides caused by moons gravity pulling on the ocean water?
Yes, tides are primarily caused by the gravitational pull of the Moon on Earth's oceans. This pull creates bulges in the water, leading to high tides in the areas closest to the Moon. Additionally, there is a second bulge on the opposite side of the Earth due to the centrifugal force from the Earth-Moon system's rotation. The Sun also influences tides, but to a lesser extent compared to the Moon.
Causes of tides?
Tides are primarily caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and, to a lesser extent, the sun on the Earth's oceans. The gravitational force creates a bulge of water on the side of the Earth closest to the moon and on the side farthest from the moon, causing high tides. As the Earth rotates within this gravitational field, two high tides and two low tides occur in most coastal areas every day.
What are the special tides called?
Special tides include spring tides, which occur during full and new moons when the sun, Earth, and moon are aligned, creating higher high tides and lower low tides. Neap tides occur during quarter moons when the sun and moon are at right angles to each other, resulting in less extreme tidal fluctuations.
What Moon phases causes Spring tides?
Spring tides are caused by new and full moons. Neap tides are caused by 1st and 3rd quarter moons.
What cause moons gravity?
It causes the tides. Tides are also caused - to a lesser degree - by Sun's gravity.
What causes daily high and low tides?
The moon and earths gravitational pull (gravity)

What causes the tides to rise and fall and fall on Earth?
The tidal effect (guess where it got that name) caused by the gravity of the Sun and Moon.
What moon phases would cause spring tides?
"Spring" tides, which are a little higher than average, occur at new moons and full moons. "Neap" tides, a little lower than average, occur at the quarter moon phases.
Is it true that tides are caused by the moons gravitational pull?
Yes, though the sun's gravity also plays a large part.
What is the cause of tides in sea?
the moons gravity
What is a cause of the tides in the seas?
the moons gravity.
Are the full and new moon weak or strong?
Your question is unclear, but perhaps you are referring to the tides, which are caused by the combination of the Moon's and the Sun's gravity. At new and full moons, the tidal forces add together, and we have higher-than-average "spring" tides. At the first and third quarter Moons, the tidal forces counteract each other, and we have lower-than-average "neap" tides.
What are the factors that brought about the occurrence of tides on earth?
The moons gravitational pull causes tides.
Why does the moon afect the tides?
The moons gravitational pull is what make the tides high/low.
