Question

Tides occur in ocean but not in lakes .give reason

Answer 1

I think it very illogical to say that tides occur in lakes and then go on to say they are too small to notice a difference. If tides occur in lakes, all bodies of water, then bodies such as the Great Lakes, especially that of Lake Superior, would most certainly have a tide which is noticeable. Surely by eyesight but for those naysayers, most certainly measurable by scientific devices. So either there are tides within the Great Lakes which can be measured and seen, even if in the spectrum of centimeters/millimeters, or there simply are no tides at all within the Great Lakes and other lakes, and if that's the case then it's time to throw out all we have been taught/indoctrinated into, about our earth, moon, sun, and cosmos. If the ocean tides are caused by the lunar gravitational pull, then it is impossible that it's gravity wouldn't also act on everything else, including lakes. And so if there are no tides present in Lake Superior, worlds largest fresh water body, then it is not the moon causing the oceanic tides. And if that's the case then I beg the question, what is responsible and what is the moon really made of. Is there such a thing as gravity? Might we live in an electric universe? Might the moon, sun, and earth not be what we have been told they are? Might the cosmos, not be what we are told it is? Anybody with a brain can see the logic. If the moons gravity can pull on and effect the oceans tide levels, then it must also be true that Lake Superior would have a noticeably measurable tide. And what's this Bologna about the oceans having tides because only the oceans are large enough to have winds blowing over them unobstructed? What does wind have to do with the moons gravity acting on the water? Nothing! You have to do better than that. I understand that Lake Superior wouldnt have as large a tidal shift as the oceans, that's common sense, however, it is way more than large enough to have some tidal shift. And any amount of tidal shift results in the level/height/depth of the water to change. Any change is then measurable and noticeable by a human being. And so you cannot say that lakes have tides, but then say they are too small to notice. If there is no noticeable change to water level, then there is no tide. If no tide then am I to beLIEve that all bodies of water smaller than an ocean are simply immune to lunar gravity? Either there is a tide which results in the change of water depth which can then be measured, or there is no tide and suddenly all we have been taught becomes suspect. And please, don't simply decide 1 way or another based upon learning someone Else's opinion. Do the research yourself, go to a large lake and check for yourself. Fortunately I live within an hour of Lake Erie and a few hours of superior and so in the near future when conditions are right, I will drive to superior and sit there all day and night and see what i see. And by conditions being right, making sure there is the moon directly overhead the day/night I go, to allow for optimal lunar gravitational effects. And for anyone who simply believes what these people are saying, without question, then I beg u to please go get your head checked. It doesn't make sense to say that yes all bodies of water have tides, BUT….only oceans have noticeable tides. If there's a tide then it is measurable and if measurable it is then noticeable. Without question, there can be no debate about it. Tide=change in h2o depth=measurable=noticeable. No measurable change in H2O depth=not noticeable=no tide=

Answer 2

Answer:

Because tides is an effect of gravity on oceans water that causes the sea level to rise .
