explain why the magnitude of tide vary from time to time
Answers
Dear student, Please find below the solution to the asked query. The following points may help you- The phenomenon of the alternate rise and fall in the level of sea water is called a tide. The magnitude of the wave varies with the varying distance between the moon and the earth ,and the earth and the sun. The position of the earth with respect to the sun also depend on the the magnitude of tidal wave. During the full moon and new moon days ,the sun ,the moon and the earth are in the same line and the tides are highest.These tides are called spring tides. When the moon is in the first and last quarter ,the ocean water is drawn in diagonally opposite directions the gravitational pull of the sun and earth resulting in low tide or neap tide. Please mark my answer as brainliest
Explanation:
tides are caused by the tidal forces of the moon, the sun and rotation of the earth.
they are caused mainly by the attraction of moon and to some extent the sun on the surface of earth.
the magnitude of the wave varies with varying distance between the moon and the earth, and the earth and the sun. the position of earth with respect to sun also depend on the magnitude of the tidal waves.
