The tides are caused by the moon's gravitational pull. The moon pulls the water towards it. The moon also pulls the earth towards it, but just a bit less, so there is a bulge(the tide) in the Earth's ocean's on the side nearest the moon and on the side farthest from the moon.
What else can I help you with?
Is gravitational attraction varies directly with tilt of the earth axis?
No the Earth's gravitational attraction is caused by its mass. It varies slightly because the Earth is an oblate spheroid not a sphere, and as a result of variation in the density of crustal rocks. The tilt of Earth's axis has no affect on gravitational attraction.
How would you expect earth's gravitational pull on you high in the Rocky Mountains to be different to be from a pull on a sea shore?
The earth's gravitational pull decreases as altitude increases.
Does the gravitational pull of the earth cause chimneys to lean?
no
What causes tides to be high in one part of the day and low during another?
they're so high because when the sun, moon, and earth are in a line, their gravitational pull creates a tidal bulge on earth. during neap tides, the sun, moon, and earth are at a 90 degree angle, making more even tidal bulges, making high and low tides closer together than the spring tides.
How can the sun have a large gravitational force on the earth but a small force on you?
Earth has more mass.
What is the cause of tides on earth?
The moons gravitational pull on the Earth
How does the moons orbit effect the earth?
The moons gravitational pull on the earth lifts the Earth's oceans causing the ebb and flow of the tides.
Where is the earth pulled on from the moons gravitational pull?
The oceans
How are high tide and low tide alike?
They are Both created by the moons gravitational pull on the earth
Why gravitational attraction on moon is one-sixth of the gravitational attraction on earth?
The moons mass is 1/6th the mass of the Earth.
Who observed that Jupiter's moons orbited Jupiter and not the earth?
Galileo
Why do moons not fall into the planet they are orbiting?
Because of the gravitational pull between the Earth and the Moon
Does the moons gravitational force stronger than earths gravitational force?
No the Earth would pull u more than the moon
How does the moon affect the earth's oceans?
The moons gravitational pull is what causes tides.
Why does the moons distance from earth very in a cyclic matter?
The moon is under the influence of both the Earth's and the Sun's gravitational pull.
What powers surface ocean currents?
Uneven heating from the sun.
Why an astronaut does not get pulled into earth on the moon?
The moons gravity holds them down!! The moons gravity maybe lower than the Earth's gravity but on the moon it is strong enough to win the tug of war with Earth's gravitational pull.
