Earth tides, or solid Earth tides, occur as a result of the gravitational forces exerted by the Moon and the Sun on the Earth's surface. These tidal effects cause the Earth's crust to deform slightly, leading to periodic elevation and subsidence in various locations. While they are most pronounced in oceanic regions, earth tides can also affect land areas, particularly in large geological structures or along fault lines. The effects are generally small, typically measuring just a few centimeters.
What else can I help you with?
The medium-sized tides that occur across the entire Earth's surface during the Quarter Moon phases are called what?
neap tides
Spring tides occur when the sun moon and earth?
Spring tides (which are a little higher than average) occur when the Sun, Moon and Earth are pretty much lined up; at the new moon and the full moon. Lower-than-average "neap" tides happen at the 1st and 3rd quarter moon phases.
During what month does Spring tides occur and why?
A neap tide is a tide with the least difference between consecutive and low and high tides. A spring tides are combined forces which produce a tide with a greatest difference between consecutive low and high tides. They occur because the moons gravitational pull is pulling it.
Spring and neap tides occur in a patterns governed by?
the relative positions of Earth,moon,and sun(the phases of the moon)
What is the Contrast between a spring tides and neap tides?
Perigee tides involve the Moon's orbit around the Earth. It does not go in a perfect circle but rather in an ellipse/oval shaped revolution. Because of that there are some points in the Moon's orbit at which the Moon is closer to the Earth. "Perigee" is the point of closest approach. With that closeness it causes a greater gravitational attraction between Earth and the Moon, pulling more water towards the Moon, causing what we know as high and low tides. "Spring tides" can occur during a perigee tide but not necessarily. A spring tide is a tide that occurs when the Sun, Earth and the Moon are nearly in a straight line, at a NEW MOON, or at a Full Moon. The highest tides happen then.
When the sun earth and moon line up they cause something special to happen to tides. What kinds of tides occur?
neap tides occur..
How frequently do high and low tides occur in most locations on Earth?
High and low tides typically occur twice a day in most locations on Earth.
How often, in most locations on earth, do high and low tides occur?
High and low tides typically occur twice a day in most locations on Earth.
The moon travels around the earth its gravitational force pulls on water making two kinds of tides what are the two tides?
The two types of tides created by the moon's gravitational pull on Earth's water are high tides and low tides. High tides occur on the side of Earth facing the moon and on the opposite side, while low tides occur at the points perpendicular to the moon.
What makes tides occur?
Gravity(the pull that keeps us on earth)
What forces causes the earth's highest tides in the ocean?
The earth's highest tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and sun on the earth's oceans. When the sun, moon, and earth are aligned during a full moon or new moon, their gravitational forces combine to create higher tides known as spring tides.
Which is stronger neap or spring tide?
Spring tides are stronger than neap tides. Spring tides occur when the sun, moon, and Earth are aligned in a straight line, resulting in higher high tides and lower low tides. Neap tides occur when the sun and moon are at right angles to each other, resulting in less extreme tidal variations.
Spring tides occur when the moon is in a?
When the moon is aligned to the sun and the earth: MOON --> EARTH --> SUN
Force that causes tides to occur on earth?
The gravitational force exerted by the moon and the sun on Earth's oceans causes tides to occur. The moon's gravitational pull is stronger than the sun's, resulting in two high tides and two low tides each day.
Where do the water bulges occur on earth during the tides?
bulges of water in the ocean are called high tides.
The highest tides are called?
Spring tides. These occur when the sun, Earth, and moon are aligned, causing maximum tidal range.
What two factors determine when tides occur?
The rotation of the Earth and the moon
