What is the same about neap tides and spring tides?
Both neap tides and spring tides occur due to the gravitational forces of the Moon and the Sun on Earth's oceans. Neap tides happen when the gravitational pull of the Moon and Sun are at right angles, resulting in lower high tides and higher low tides. Spring tides occur when the gravitational pull of the Moon and Sun are aligned, creating higher high tides and lower low tides.
What phase of the moon produce the highest and lowest tides on earth?
When the Moon is at Full and at Dark (New), tides are strongest. These are called "spring" tides. When the Moon is at First and Last Quarter, the tides are weakest. These are called "neap" tides.The reason is that the Solar tides are either added to, or subtracted from, the Lunar tides.
Why there is high tide during full moon?
Depending on where you live, you have high tides about every 12 hours, no matter what the phase of the Moon. However, at the full and new moons, you have higher-than-average "spring" tides, because the gravitational pull of the Moon lines up with the much lower gravitational pull of the Sun. At the quarter moons, we have lower-than-average "neap" tides because the tidal pull of the Moon and the tidal pull of the Sun are working at cross-purposes.
What happens to the ocean tide when gravitational pull is at its strongest?
When gravitation pull is at its strongest, we have spring tides. The spring tide reaches far up the beach at high tide, and also goes far down the beach at low tide.
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.
How tides occurs on Earth?
From the pull of the moons gravity.
Why does the moon afect the tides?
The moons gravitational pull is what make the tides high/low.
What is the cause of tides on earth?
The moons gravitational pull on the Earth
How does the earth's moon affect the earth's bodies of water?
The moon's gravitational pull causes tides in Earth's bodies of water. This pull creates two bulges in the ocean, leading to high and low tides. The tides are strongest during full and new moons when the Earth, moon, and sun are aligned.
How does the moons orbit effect the earth?
The moons gravitational pull on the earth lifts the Earth's oceans causing the ebb and flow of the tides.
What Differences in the moons pull on different parts of earth cause what?
the tides and gravity
How does the moon affect the earth's oceans?
The moons gravitational pull is what causes tides.
Can a planet without a moon have tides?
no a planet with out moons can not have tides because it will not have that second gravitaional pull both from the sun and the moon
What object in the sky has the most significant affect on earths tides?
the moons gravitational pull
What causes the highest tides?
The highest tides, known as spring tides, are caused by the gravitational pull of the sun and the moon aligning with the Earth, creating a stronger combined gravitational force. When the sun and moon are in alignment during a new or full moon, the gravitational pull is strongest, resulting in higher high tides.
What object in your solar system causes the tides of the sea?
The moons gravitational pull causes the tides of the sea.This phenomena happens twice a day.
How does gravity affect tides?
Tidal movements result mainly from the pull of the moons gravity on the ocean.
