Many things, not least the moon is primarily (along with the sun to a lesser extent) the cause of tides. Without tides in the oceans many of the creatures that rely on tides including sea creatures, and wading birds, would not exist. As many of these are in the food chain, creatures higher up the chain also would not exist. In addition to this, the moon acts as a sweeper up of solar system debris such as small asteroids and meteoroids, that would otherwise cause devastation on earth. Although some have got ppast the moon, evidence of meteoroid bombardment on earth is far less than it would otherwise be. Also, the full moon was used in early times to provide light at night. In the days when harvesting had to be done by hand, farmers tended to work well into the night in the autumn to get it done. Thus the moon around this time, when full, was called the 'Harvest Moon'.
What else can I help you with?
What two things cause tides?
Tides are primarily caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun on Earth's oceans. The moon's gravitational force is stronger because it is closer to Earth, causing higher tides on the side of Earth facing the moon and on the opposite side.
Can super moons cause earthquakes?
There is no scientific evidence to suggest that supermoons can directly cause earthquakes. Earthquakes are primarily triggered by the movement of tectonic plates beneath the Earth's surface, not by the gravitational effects of the moon. While the moon's gravitational pull can influence tides on Earth, its impact on seismic activity is not significant.
What is the major cause of different sea tides?
The major cause of different sea tides is the gravitational pull of the Moon and the Sun on Earth's oceans. The gravitational force from these celestial bodies creates bulges in the waters, leading to high and low tides as Earth rotates.
Which heavenly bodies are involved in causing the Earth's tides?
The moon and the sun are the two main celestial bodies that cause the Earth's tides. The gravitational pull of the moon is the primary force behind ocean tides, while the sun's pull also contributes to a lesser extent.
Does earth's moon have a hydrosphere?
No, Earth's moon does not have a hydrosphere. There is no evidence of liquid water on the moon's surface.
Does the position of earth and the moon cause Moon's phase?
No, the position of the Moon and the Sun as OBSERVED from the Earth.
What does the moon cause on earth that you can see?
The moon causes Tides
When the moon revolves around the earth what does it cause?
The pull of the moon's gravity causes Earth's tides.
What cause the moon orbit earth and earth to revolve around the sun?
sun's gravity pulls earth and earth pulls on the moon.
The of the earth sun and moon cause the phases of the moon and eclipses?
yes
Which planet has the moon Luna?
earth, cause Luna is Latin for moon!
What three forces cause tides?
It is mainly gravitational forces from the Sun and Moon that cause tides, but the rotation of the earth has a tiny effect on it.
What is the cause of the different phases of the moon?
That's caused by the motions of Earth-Moon system around the Sun and Moon around the Earth.
The cause of the phases of the moon is a cycle that is close to what?
The cause of the phases of the Moon is closely related to our calendar month. (moon-th). The phases of the Moon are related to the Moon's orbit of Earth.
What is the cause of the phases of the moon is a cycle that is close to?
The cause of the phases of the Moon is closely related to our calendar month. (moon-th). The phases of the Moon are related to the Moon's orbit of Earth.
Does the moon's gravity cause earth tides?
Yes
What cause the moon revolution around the Earth?
gravity
