What factors can make tides vary even in places that are close to each other?
the moon's revolution around the earth has a major impact on the tides. the sun also has a less great impact on the tides, too. if we had no moon the tides would change greatly
How is a tidal range affected when the moon earth and sun are in line?
Spring tides occur in principle when the three objects are lined up so that the gravitational forces of the Sun and Moon are combined. In practice in many places the spring tides occur 1-2 days later. Tides are a proximity effect, which means that the Moon's effect on the tides is the major effect because it's closer, while the Sun's overall gravitational force on the Earth is much stronger. Tides happen because the Moon's gravity is much stronger on one side of the Earth than the other, because it's close, while the difference is not so much with the Sun's gravity because it's a lot further away.
What did Isaac Newton say sbout tides?
the moons gravity pulls on the ocean water as the earth revolves on its axes, causing tides
Are there land tides as well as sea tides?
Tides are caused by the gravitational effect of (mainly) the moon. The position of the moon relative to a particular point on Earth determines the tide. The most noticeable effect is on the sea but everything (including the land) is affected to some degree. So short answer - Yes.
Why do tides occur on our planet explain?
a tide is when water levels change in a large body of water. tides occur because of the moons gravity. the position of the moon and how close it is to earth determines if it is a high tide or low tide.
Hiw are tides formed?
tides are waves
What tide is formed when the moon sun and earth are lined up?
Spring tides.
What tide forms when water is drawn away from the area between high tides?
Tidal pools are formed when water is drawn away from an area between high tides.
How are low tides formed?
The Moon's Gravity Causes the waves to form.
How are salts deposit formed?
High tides flood the salt pans with sea water which evaporates to leave behind salt deposits. This is how salt deposits are formed.
What is formed when the Earth Sun and Moon form a right angle creating lower high tides and higher low tides?
When the Earth, Sun, and Moon form a right angle, a phenomenon known as "neap tides" occurs. During neap tides, the gravitational pull of the Sun partially offsets that of the Moon, resulting in lower high tides and higher low tides. This typically happens during the first and third quarters of the lunar cycle. The overall effect is a reduced range between high and low tides.
Which region uses the most tidal energy?
Coastal areas uses most tidal energy. Tides are formed in the oceans.
Is it true that when warm and cold currents meet tide is formed?
No, tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the Sun and Moon, not by currents.
How were the hopewell rocks formed?
The Hopewell Rocks were formed through a combination of erosion caused by the tides of the Bay of Fundy and the slow weathering of the rocks over millions of years. The powerful tides of the bay have carved away at the softer rock layers, leaving behind the distinctive sea stacks and flowerpot formations that we see today.
Explain what effect the moon's gravity has on the sea?
Due to the moon's strong gravitational pull, relinquished by other planets, tides are formed.
What is solar tides?
solar tides are tides thst effect the ocean tides
Do spring tides have the lowest low tides compared to other types of tides?
No, spring tides have the highest high tides and lowest low tides compared to other types of tides.
