Why earths oceans have tides?

If we did not have the moon, there would be no waves.

What is the water in the oceans pulled by?

As far as tides it is th pull of the moon's gravity, but waves can be caused by wind.


Does the moon do anything else but brighten up the sky?

Yes. The moon's gravity pulls on the oceans in order to make tides and waves.


How many waves are in one day?

There are typically two high tides and two low tides in one day, resulting in four waves. This pattern is due to the gravitational pull of the moon and sun on Earth's oceans causing the water to bulge and recede.

Why are there waves in the sea but not in rivers?

Lakes are too small to experience tidal forces, which are caused by the Moon and Sun's gravitational pull on the Earth. Rivers flow downhill under the influence of Earth's gravity which is much closer than the Moon or Sun, and any tidal effects are indistinguishable. However, rivers which lead to the oceans are affected by tides, as ocean water rushes in to the mouth or estuary of the river.


How is a tide like a wave?

Tides and waves are both caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and sun on Earth's oceans. Tides are long-period waves that move steadily across the ocean surface, while waves are shorter-period oscillations that move through the water in a more localized manner. Both tides and waves are influenced by the forces of gravity and serve important roles in shaping coastal areas and ecosystems.


Do lakes have tides, and if so, how do they compare to the tides in oceans?

No, lakes do not have tides like oceans do. Tides in oceans are caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and sun, which create the rise and fall of water levels. Lakes, being smaller bodies of water, do not experience the same tidal effects as oceans.
