Who was the first person to identify the forces that caused tides?
The first person to identify the forces that caused tides was Sir Isaac Newton. He proposed that the gravitational pull of the Moon and the Sun on the Earth's oceans was responsible for creating tides.
Explain the role of the sun and the moon in causing tides on earth?
The sun and moon's gravitational pull on Earth's oceans causes tides. The moon's gravitational pull is stronger due to its proximity, creating two high tides and two low tides each day as the Earth rotates. The sun's gravitational pull also affects tides, with spring tides occurring when the sun, moon, and Earth align, creating higher high tides and lower low tides.
Explain how high tides and low tides occur?
High tides occur when the gravitational pull of the moon and sun cause ocean waters to bulge, creating a higher water level. Low tides happen when the gravitational forces are not directly aligned, resulting in a lower water level. The Earth's rotation also influences the timing and frequency of tides.
When the tides are especially weak it is called a what tides?
When the tides are especially weak, it is called "neap tides." Neap tides occur when the gravitational forces of the moon and the sun are at right angles to each other, resulting in lower high tides and higher low tides. This phenomenon typically happens during the first and third quarters of the lunar cycle.
What phase of the moon do neap tides occur?
Neap tides are the ones that coincide with the Moon's First Quarter and Third Quarter.

Who is the first person who explained about the tides?
Sir Isaac Newton
How does the periodic nature of tides explain why tiddal power is not a steady source of energy?
You have sullivans?

EXPlain how tides are produced in ocean?
Tides are mainly caused by the gravitational pull of the moon against the oceans. Thus, spring tide and neap tide coincide with different phases of the moon
Describe how temperatures of the atmosphere changes with height and explain why?
describe how the height of the tides changes from monday to thursday
What might explain the fact that water is rising in one area and falling in another?
This is happening because of tides, which happen in the opposite places on Earth at the same time. The magnetic field on the Earth and the Moon are pulling towards each other, causing the tides to rise in one place and fall in another.
Explain how high tides and low tides occur?
High tides occur when the gravitational pull of the moon and sun cause ocean waters to bulge, creating a higher water level. Low tides happen when the gravitational forces are not directly aligned, resulting in a lower water level. The Earth's rotation also influences the timing and frequency of tides.

What phase of the moon do neap tides occur?
Neap tides are the ones that coincide with the Moon's First Quarter and Third Quarter.
What phase of the moon the highest and lowest tides on earth?
New and full moons produce the highest and lowest tides. These are called spring tides
How does the affect of the moon affect surfers?
the moon causes tides, which are waves. Please someone further explain how the moon does it.
