How does position of the moon cause high and low tides on earth?

The gravitational pull of the moon affects the water on Earth, creating high tides on the side of the Earth facing the moon and on the opposite side. This is due to the difference in gravitational force across the Earth, resulting in areas experiencing high and low tides depending on the position of the moon relative to Earth.


What and what form when water collects in hollows and low lying areas?

Lakes, Ponds, Accumulation of water.


There are two high and two low tides each day This is a result of which earth movement?

The two high and two low tides each day are a result of the gravitational forces exerted by the moon and the sun on Earth's oceans as Earth rotates. This causes the water in the oceans to bulge towards the direction of the moon and sun, creating high tides, and causing low tides in other areas.


Why the low tide occurs?

Low tide occurs due to the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun on Earth's waters. As the moon orbits the Earth, its gravitational force causes the water to bulge out in the direction of the moon, creating high tides. Conversely, the areas perpendicular to this bulge experience lower water levels, resulting in low tide. Local geography and the alignment of the sun also influence the timing and magnitude of tides.


What side of earth do low tides occur?

Low tides can happen anywhere. Wherever the moon goes it lifts earth's water up a little (closest to it. The water also rises on the other side of Earth which is strange) and the sides of Earth not facing the moon lower a little.

In which direction does water flow, according to the principle that "water flows from high to low"?

Water flows from areas of high elevation to areas of low elevation, following the principle that water flows downhill.


Osmosis causes water to move from areas of low salt concentration to areas of high salt concentration.?

That is incorrect. Osmosis actually causes water to move from areas of high water concentration to areas of low water concentration, in order to equalize the concentration of solutes across a semipermeable membrane.


What forms when water collects in hollows and low lying areas of land?

When water collects in hollows and low-lying areas of land, it forms ponds or lakes.


How are winds created and what factors contribute to their formation?

Winds are created by the movement of air from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure. Factors that contribute to their formation include the uneven heating of the Earth's surface, the rotation of the Earth, and the presence of large bodies of water.


What areas are in danger of flooding?

Low-laying areas close to water are at risk of flooding


All the land on earth was covered by?

water before the continents formed due to volcanic activity and tectonic movements. Over time, the Earth's surface cooled and water vapor condensed into rain, eventually filling the low-lying areas with water to form oceans and seas.


What is the movement of water through a membrane from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration?

Osmosis is the movement of water through a selectively permeable membrane from an area of high concentration of water to an area of low concentration of water.


How are plain mades?

Plains are made from rock formations. Plains are flat areas of land that are located in low lying areas. Plains can be formed when lakes become filled in.


How are low tides different from High tides?

In high tides areas, the water level is higher the average sea level. In areas between high tides, low tides from. In low tide areas, the water level is lower than average sea level.


Which moon surface features probably formed when lava flows filled large basins?

The moon surface features that probably formed when lava flows filled large basins are called maria, which are large, dark plains visible from Earth. These maria were created by ancient volcanic activity that filled the low-lying basin areas with basaltic lava flows.
