EXPlain how tides are produced in ocean?
Tides are mainly caused by the gravitational pull of the moon against the oceans. Thus, spring tide and neap tide coincide with different phases of the moon
Why the Neap Tides occur during the first and third quarter moon?
the gravitation of the moon is greater and the tides can either become bigger or smaller
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.
How do tides affect people's activities?
If you live very near the ocean, then tides will affect depth of water in harbors, when fishing is better, how far out you can wade before the water is over your head, where you should moor your boat, etc. Deeper inland, tides have no literal effect on people's activities.
What does the phrase neap tide mean?
During the moon's quarter phases the sun and moon work at right angles, causing the bulges to cancel each other. The result is a smaller difference between high and low tides and is known as a neap tide. Neap tides are especially weak tides. They occur when the gravitational forces of the Moon and the Sun are perpendicular to one another (with respect to the Earth). Neap tides occur during quarter moons.Neap tides are the less than average tides that occur during the first and third quarters of the moon.
Explain how high tides and low tides occur?
High tides occur when the gravitational pull of the moon and sun cause ocean waters to bulge, creating a higher water level. Low tides happen when the gravitational forces are not directly aligned, resulting in a lower water level. The Earth's rotation also influences the timing and frequency of tides.
How manny tides occur in one day?
How many tides occur in one day
When do extreme tides occur?
The moon control's the tides
When the sun earth and moon line up they cause something special to happen to tides. What kinds of tides occur?
neap tides occur..
Can a planet without a moon have tides?
no a planet with out moons can not have tides because it will not have that second gravitaional pull both from the sun and the moon
What phase of the moon when have a very high tides occur?
spring tides
What kinds of tides occur when the moon and sun are are angles?
neap tides
Will a planet without a moon have extreme tides?
No, a planet without a moon would not have extreme tides. Tides are primarily caused by the gravitational pull between a planet and its moon. Without a moon, there would be no significant tidal forces acting on the planet.
The highest and lowest tides are known as the spring tides. When do these tides occur?
this is called EbbTide
What month and day low tides occur?
All of them. Low tides occur just about twice a day in most places.
What kinds of tides occur when the moon and the sun are at right angles?
neap tides
What kinds of tides occur when moon and sun are at right angles?
neap tides
