They are called high tides and low tides!


When do high tides come about?

High tides occur when the water is at its highest. Tides are caused by the combined effects of the rotation of the earth and the gravitational forces of the sun and the moon.


Do gravitational forces create high or low tides?

For Earth, both high and low tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the Moon.


Assume there was no moon Approximately when would you expect to observe high tides at the equator?

Assuming there would be no Moon, tides would only be caused by the Sun. Therefore, we would have high tides at noon and ad midnight - but those would be much less pronounced than the tides we have now.Assuming there would be no Moon, tides would only be caused by the Sun.

What causes spring tides and neap tides in the ocean?

Spring tides are caused by the alignment of the sun, moon, and Earth, creating higher high tides and lower low tides. Neap tides occur when the sun and moon are at right angles to each other, resulting in lower high tides and higher low tides.


What causes daily high and low tides?

The moon and earths gravitational pull (gravity)


What effects is caused by the moon's gravity?

The main effect is the tides, Without the Moon's gravity the tides would be about one quarter as high as they are now, they would be the same every day, and there would be no spring tides or neap tides.


Ocean tides are caused by what?

Tides are mainly caused by the pull of the moon.


What are earths tides caused by?

Earth's tides are primarily caused by the gravitational pull of the Moon and, to a lesser extent, the Sun. As the Moon orbits Earth and the Earth rotates on its axis, the gravitational forces create bulges in the ocean waters, causing high and low tides. The Sun's gravitational pull also contributes to the tides, but to a lesser degree due to its greater distance from Earth.


If you have been to a beach for a whole day then you have seen tides roll in and out. What causes Earth's high tides?

Earth's high tides are primarily caused by the gravitational pull of the Moon. The Moon's gravitational force creates bulges in the Earth's water, causing the water level to rise, resulting in high tides. High tides occur on the side of the Earth facing the Moon and on the opposite side due to the Moon's gravitational influence.
