Is the moon the only thing that affects tides?
No. Tides on Earth are caused mainly by the Moon, and by the Sun. If the Moon and the Sun are aligned - on the same side, or on opposite sides of the Earth - tides are stronger than when they are at a right angle. There are also tides on other planets, caused by their corresponding moons.
How does the phases of the moon affect the tides at sea?
the phases of the moon don't affect tides. Tides are caused by the moon's gravity, the moon is always at the same distance from Earth. Sun also causes the tides. so if the sun and the moon are directed in the same place at Earth extra high tides occur.
What casuses tides?
Tides are caused by the sun's and the moon's gravitational pull on the earth being different.
Causes of tides?
Tides are primarily caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and, to a lesser extent, the sun on the Earth's oceans. The gravitational force creates a bulge of water on the side of the Earth closest to the moon and on the side farthest from the moon, causing high tides. As the Earth rotates within this gravitational field, two high tides and two low tides occur in most coastal areas every day.
What is one observable event other than the moon phases caused by the moon orbiting earth?
One observable event caused by the moon orbiting Earth is the phenomenon of tides. The gravitational pull of the moon on Earth's oceans creates high and low tides as the Earth and moon interact gravitationally.
Are Low tides caused by the sun and high tides by the moon?
no. all tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the moon.
Who causes the tides?
The tides are caused by the moon's gravitational force.
Is the gravitational pull of the tides just the moon or the moon and sun?
The tides are caused by Both the Sun and the Moon but, the Moon has agreater effect.
Are the tides on earth caused by the gravity?
Tides on Earth are caused by the gravity of the moon and, to a lesser degree, the sun.
How red tides occur?
its caused by the moon
What effect is caused by the Moon's gravity?
Earth's tides are caused by the Moon's gravity (in combination with the Sun's).
Is the moon the only thing that affects tides?
No. Tides on Earth are caused mainly by the Moon, and by the Sun. If the Moon and the Sun are aligned - on the same side, or on opposite sides of the Earth - tides are stronger than when they are at a right angle. There are also tides on other planets, caused by their corresponding moons.
Are tides the differences in the amount of salt?
No. Tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the moon on the oceans.
What forces affect tides?
Tides are caused by the gravitational forces on Earth from the Moon and the Sun.
Currents that are caused by the Moon's gravity are called?
They are called high tides and low tides!
Which water movements on Earth are caused by the moon?
TIDES
What is the name of a current caused by the Moon's gravity?
Tides
