Question

Does the moon hve anything to do with the tides,low,high,rip etc?

Answer 1

The moon has everything to do with the tides, It's all about the gravitational pull between the moon the earth and the sun also believe it or not. When the moon is full the sun and moon combine to produce a strong gravitational pull resulting in spring tides [ comes in a lot higher and goes out a lot further ] and when the moon is less then the high and low tides over this period will be of less change [ neap tides ]

I am a fisherman for a living and it is so important to understand these cycles as the activity and behaviour of our shallow water sea life is greatly affected by these cycles , an example of this is that i would not fish for velvet crab when the tides a re weak [ neap ] as they just do not feed at this time but you can guarantee that when the tides are building you can catch these little suckers by the barrel load !

It's pretty amazing really just how in tune everything is in nature !

Hope that helps

Answer 2

yes because the moon as no graferty so it pushes the water away

Answer 3

yes, The gravitational force of the moon acts on the water on earth, pulling the water towards the mass of the moon.

Answer 4

Ofcourse it's deep relation of low and high tides....moon's gravity affect ocean water so u can see on the evening of full moon sea level is higher and vise versa for day of no moon

Answer 5

yeah. and it can some times tuen into a wolf.

Answer 6

Tides are created because the Earth and the moon are attracted to each other, just like magnets are attracted to each other. The moon tries to pull at anything on the Earth to bring it closer. But, the Earth is able to hold onto everything except the water. Since the water is always moving, the Earth cannot hold onto it, and the moon is able to pull at it. Each day, there are two high tides and two low tides. The ocean is constantly moving from high tide to low tide, and then back to high tide. There is about 12 hours and 25 minutes between the two high tides.

Answer 7

it has everything to do with all of that.

Answer 8

What are Lunar Tides

Tides are created because the Earth and the moon are attracted to each other, just like magnets are attracted to each other. The moon tries to pull at anything on the Earth to bring it closer. But, the Earth is able to hold onto everything except the water. Since the water is always moving, the Earth cannot hold onto it, and the moon is able to pull at it. Each day, there are two high tides and two low tides. The ocean is constantly moving from high tide to low tide, and then back to high tide. There is about 12 hours and 25 minutes between the two high tides.



Tides are the periodic rise and falling of large bodies of water. Winds and currents move the surface water causing waves. The gravitational attraction of the moon causes the oceans to bulge out in the direction of the moon. Another bulge occurs on the opposite side, since the Earth is also being pulled toward the moon (and away from the water on the far side). Ocean levels fluctuate daily as the sun, moon and earth interact. As the moon travels around the earth and as they, together, travel around the sun, the combined gravitational forces cause the world's oceans to rise and fall. Since the earth is rotating while this is happening, two tides occur each day.

Answer 9

yes. did you skip middle school? come on!!

Answer 10

the moon is what controls all of those things you listed.

it is very powerful.. and can sometimes playwith poeple behaviour.
