When earth began to spin a littler bit faster tides would be higher?
Answers
Answer:
thats a nyc question:)
Gravity is a major force that creates tides.Ocean tides result from the gravitational attraction of the sun and moon on the oceans of the earth.
Tides are the rise and fall of sea levels caused by the combined effects of the gravitational forces exerted by the Moon and the Sun, and the rotation of the Earth.
The relative distances and positions of the sun, moon and earth all affect the size and magnitude of the 2 tidal bulge points on earth.
the rotation speed of the earth is a constant... but in your question, that condition is changed, but still even if the earth spins a little faster, that speed would be a constant.(just keep this in mind)
now another thing to note is
Earth is pushing the high tide ahead of the Moon. It takes energy for Earth to push the tide ahead like this and every time an ocean tide meets a continent much of that energy is lost. Thus, tides are draining energy out of Earth’s rotation, slowing it down.
i.e tides slow down the earth's rotation, so if the earth rotated faster,then probably, it can push the high tide ahead of the moon even more effectively,right?
so that would mean that...tides would be higher if earth rotates a bit faster..
remember the fact that im not sure of this is the case...
hope it helps...
