WHAT CAUSES TIDES?OUR WORLD?
Tides are the periodic rise and fall of all oceans,
caused by the gravitational pull of the Moon. The moon's
pull on the earth draws the ocean water towards the Moon,
making the water form a huge swell. This is known as a high tide.
Water closet to the Moon will always be the point of the highest tide.
as the Earth spins around, different oceans become the closet stretch of water
to the moon. This is why all oceans and seas have different points of high
tide at different times of the day or night.
FACT FILE
Spring tides are tides with unusually
high ranges twice per month when the
Sun,Earth, and Moon are in line.
They can be especially high in the
spring and autumn.
