How does gravity effect the ocean?

The moons gravity pulls on the ocean, creating high and low tides. Depending on where the moon is located in contrast to where you are located, the moons gravity cause a spring tide, which is the largest hight range in high and low tides, and a neap tide, which is the least hight in high and low tides. I hope this helps. :)


What did Isaac Newton say sbout tides?

the moons gravity pulls on the ocean water as the earth revolves on its axes, causing tides


What is the main substance affected by the moons gravity?

The main substance affected by the Moon's gravity on Earth is water. This gravitational force causes the ocean tides to rise and fall in response to the Moon's position in its orbit around Earth.


What ocean movements are affected by the moon gravity?

Ocean tides are primarily affected by the gravitational pull of the moon. The gravitational attraction between the moon and Earth causes the water in the ocean to bulge towards the moon, creating high tides. As Earth rotates, areas not aligned with the moon experience low tides. This movement is known as tidal flow.


What is the moons role in ocean tides?

high tide and low tide Just as Earth's gravity attracts the moon, the moon's gravity affects Earth. Being much smaller, its gravity is weaker and just pulls on the ocean. Tides change throughout the day due to the Sun and Moon's changing positions relative to Earth. Because the Sun also affects tides, the tides are highest during noon and midnight. In between, they just rise and fall slowly. The moon's gravity pulls the ocean and causes tides.


Something on earth affected by the pull of gravity from the moon?

The tides on Earth are affected by the pull of gravity from the moon. This gravitational force causes the ocean to bulge on the side of the Earth facing the moon and on the opposite side, creating high and low tides.
