Why Do Ocean Tides Occur on Earth?
š” The Answer
- The Moon's gravitational pull creates a tidal bulge on Earth's oceans.
- The Sun also contributes but with about half the Moon's effect.
- Tidal forces are caused by differences in gravity across Earth's diameter.
- Spring tides occur when Sun and Moon align, producing higher tides.
