How does the moon effect the earths ocean?

Answer 1

Everything that weighs something (has a mass) attracts other things - so do the Earth and Moon, but because water moves easily - the Moon attracts only the water so that there is higher waterlevel on the Moon-side of Earth (in average in 24h) than on the non-moon side. As the Moon moves around the Earth it "pushes" the water in front of it, forming what we know as the tide.

When the Moon and Sun are on the same side of the Earth the tidal stream is much stronger.

All this is the main reason for streams in the oceans.

Answer 2

Wherever the moon is, the mass of water on Earth facing AND opposite of the Moon are pulled outwards because of the Moon's gravity.

The mass of water facing the Moon is pulled out because its gravity is stronger there.

Thhe mass of water facing AWAY from the moon is pulled out because of the LACK of moon gravity on it, if that makes sense.

Wherever is not facing the moon or directly away from the moon has low tides because the moon's gravity does not much affect that area and the water from there rushes to the areas facing and facing away from the moon.

Answer 3

The moon's gravitational pull causes the ocean tides by attracting water towards it, creating high tides on the side of Earth facing the moon and low tides on the opposite side. This gravitational force also creates tidal bulges that move around the Earth as it rotates.

Answer 4

because the moon also have the gravitational force which attracts the ocean or seas the moon the ocean by its coolness

Answer 5

All the time! As it orbits around the Earth, its gravity pulls the water with it, causing the tides. However, on the opposite side of the Earth, there is another bulge where the water rises.

Answer 6

the gravity of the moon pulls the ocean.
