Is it actually true that the moon has an effect on the tide, if it does what effects does it have.

1 answer:

5 0

The tides are the result of the moon exerting its gravitational force on the ocean and bulging it both toward and away from the moon. The tide is higher, the ocean is higher, at the location closest to the moon and on the opposite side of the Earth.

As the Earth rotates, the position relative to the moon changes, so the bulge moves. At any one location the sea level goes up and goes down as the bulge passes that location. Every six hours the tide goes from high to low and high to low again. Over 24 hours you typically see two high tides and two low tides.

Answer:

The movement of continents has affected weather patterns by creating mountain ranges and changing the location of the continents.

Explanation:

The movement of continents, or rather the movement of tectonic plates, has had, has, and will continue to have a huge impact on the weather patterns on Earth. One of the things that are among the most influential is the creation of mountain ranges and the changing locations of the continents.

The creation of mountain ranges alters the movement of air masses, meaning that it is a process that influences the amount of precipitation, as well as temperature distribution in the areas where they are found. The changing locations of continents are even more influential. This determines the size of oceans and seas and because of that the ocean currents as well. If there is more landmass around the poles then the climate will be colder and drier on a global level and the sea levels will be lower, but if landmass is lacking around the poles then the global climate will be warmer, wetter, and the sea levels will be higher.
