The earth spins on its axis. The ocean water maintains its equal level through the gravitational force and the centrifugal forces together. But the moon's gravitational force disrupts and accelerates the water pulling it towards the moon. These areas which are pulled, experience high tide while the rest of the area has a low tide.
What else can I help you with?
When does high tide happens?
High tide occurs when the water level is at its peak, typically every 12 hours and 25 minutes due to the gravitational forces of the moon and the sun. The exact timing of high tide can vary based on location and local geography.
When the moon is closest to earth what kind of tide do you have?
A high tide.
What are the effects of the movement of the moon?
The effects are the moon phases, eclipses, and the high tide and low tide.
What a neap tide low or high?
No, it's not either of those things. A neap tide is when the difference between low tide and high tide is at a minimum. They occur roughly twice a month, when the moon is at first or third quarter. When the moon is new or full, you get the opposite of a neap tide, a "spring tide", when the difference between low tide and high tide as at a maximum.
What tide occurs when the sun is at right angles to the line between earth and the moon?
Neap tide. The gravitational effect of the sun acts to minimize the gravitational effect of the moon. When the Sun, Moon and Earth are aligned (Syzygy), the gravitational effect of the sun adds to the gravitational effect of the moon to create the largest tides.That is a neap tide. So the high tide is lower, and the low tide is higher. If you want a higher high tide and a lower low tide, you need the sun and moon to line up, and those are called spring tides.neap tidesNeap tides occur when the sun, moon, and Earth from a right angle.
Why do fisherfolk want to know whether there will de a high tide or low tide?
There will be a high tides and low tides are the effect of the moon's gravitational pull on our ocean
How do low tide and high tide occur?
The moon.
Is there a correlation between high tide and moon rise?
yes there is a correlation between high tide and moon rise because the higher the moon gets in the sky the higher the tide will be.
What is the difference between the levels at high and low tide?
the diffrencce between high tide and low is a high tide is by the gravitaion pull of the moon and/or the sun and a low tide is in the middle between the moon an sun
When the moon is closest to earth what kind of tide do you have?
A high tide.
How does the moon cause high tide and low tide?
the gravity

High Tide Moon position?
the moon in on the horizon =)
How do high tide and low tide happen?
low tide in the night high tide in the day
What are the effects of the movement of the moon?
The effects are the moon phases, eclipses, and the high tide and low tide.
What if the sun didn't help the moon make a high tide and low tide?
If the sun didn't help the moon make a high tide and low then there wouldn't be such of a high tide and probably when there is a low tide the water will be even further than a regular low tide.
The two tides of the moon what are they called?
The high tide and low tide.
