If the moon didn't control the tides on Earth, we'd experience significant changes in coastal ecosystems and marine life. Tides play a crucial role in nutrient distribution, habitat creation, and the reproductive cycles of many species. Without these tidal forces, coastal areas could face altered salinity levels, reduced habitat diversity, and potential declines in fish populations. Additionally, human activities, such as navigation and fishing, would be impacted by the absence of predictable tidal patterns.
What else can I help you with?
What would happen if tides did not occur?
There would be one less form of erosion on earth.
Does the point on earth farthest from the moon has a high tide?
Yes. High tides happen on the point on earth closest to the moon, and the opposite side of the earth.
The medium-sized tides that occur across the entire Earth's surface during the Quarter Moon phases are called?
The medium-sized tides that occur across the entire Earth's surface during the Quarter Moon phases are called neap tides. These tides happen when the gravitational pull of the sun and moon are perpendicular to each other, resulting in lower high tides and higher low tides.
What governs the tides?
The gravitational pull of the Moon and the Sun on Earth's oceans govern the tides. The Moon's gravitational force has a greater effect because it is closer to Earth. The position and alignment of the Earth, Moon, and Sun determine the type and height of tides.
How does tide happens?
The tides are mainly caused by the gravitational pull of the Moon on the Earth, and its effect on the water levels of the oceans.
What would happen if there were no tides?
If there were no tides, Earth wouldn't be the same
What are the tides that happen across the whole earth's surface called?
Tides
Do tides control the way the earth spins?
Yes, the tides gradually slow Earth's rotation.Yes, the tides gradually slow Earth's rotation.Yes, the tides gradually slow Earth's rotation.Yes, the tides gradually slow Earth's rotation.
What would happen to the earth tides if the distance between earth and the moon increased?
Tides would become stronger.
What would happen to Earth and tides if the distance between Earth and the Moon increased?
Tides would become stronger.
What will happen to the tides when the moon gets closer to the earth?
They will rise.
When the sun earth and moon line up they cause something special to happen to tides. What kinds of tides occur?
neap tides occur..
What would happen to earth if it lost its moon?
High tides wouldn't be as high and low tides wouldn't be as low.
What would happen if the earth is flat?
Negligible gravity, no tides, no atmosphere, no life
What would happen if Earth is flat?
Negligible gravity, no tides, no atmosphere, no life
How does the moon crontrol gravity on earth?
No. The earth has its own gravity. The lunar gravity causes tides on earth, but does not control earth's gravity.
What does the Moon's gravitational pull cause to happen on earth?
It causes the tides to ebb and rise.
