Gravity plays a significant role in creating tides in Hudson Bay, Canada. The gravitational pull of the moon and the sun causes the water in the bay to bulge, leading to high and low tides. The shape and depth of the bay also influence the tides, with water levels rising and falling in response to these gravitational forces.
Spring tides and neap tides are different from high and low tides in terms of their impact on ocean water levels. Spring tides occur when the sun, moon, and Earth are aligned, causing higher high tides and lower low tides. Neap tides occur when the sun and moon are at right angles to each other, resulting in lower high tides and higher low tides. This means that spring tides have a greater impact on ocean water levels compared to neap tides.
Tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun on the Earth's oceans, leading to a rhythmic rise and fall of sea levels. However, tides do not directly affect the gravity on Earth's surface. The force of gravity at any location remains relatively constant, with minor variations due to factors like altitude and the density of Earth's materials.
Everything has it's own gravity. The bigger the mass the stronger the gravity. The Earth's gravity pulls the moon towards us, but the moon has its own gravity and, as it isn't strong enough to effect the planet as a whole, so instead it pulls the oceans towards it. As the earth rotates one side is always closest to the moon and is effected the most. This pulling of the oceans towards the moon is how tides work
The moon is a source of gravity so it effects the ocean by pulling on the water, making tides. The tides are largest during a full or new moon, and smallest during a half moon. The large tides are called spring tides, while the small ones are called neap tides.
Yes, Earth would still have gravity without the sun. Gravity is a fundamental force that exists between all objects with mass, so Earth's gravity is due to its own mass, not just the presence of the sun. The sun's gravity does impact Earth's orbit and tides, but Earth would still have its own gravitational field even without the sun.
The Sun's gravity. At neap tides - the moon is exactly opposite the Sun in relation to the Earth. This means it's 'pulling' against the gravity of the Sun.
It causes the tides. Tides are also caused - to a lesser degree - by Sun's gravity.
Tides on Earth are caused by the gravity of the moon and, to a lesser degree, the sun.

moon effects tides...
The biggest tides in Canada are in BC and majority of the west coast
The moon gravity can cause tides.
The Moon's gravity causes the tides on Earth by exerting a pulling force on the oceans. This gravitational interaction also causes a small effect on Earth's rotation, slowing it down over time. Additionally, the Moon helps stabilize Earth's axial tilt, which contributes to the planet's climate and seasons.
Tides are the result of lunar (and solar) gravity.

Gravity(the pull that keeps us on earth)
Gravity pulls everything but water shows it. I am still looking for tides in a glass of water.
