High and low tides are regular phenomena.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

i. The sea level on the Earth is directly infuenced by the gravitational force of the moon.
ii. Due to the gravitational force, the water to the Earth experiences pull towards the direction of the Moon, hence there occurs high tide.
iii. At the same time, the place which is at right angels or at `90^(@)`, the water level gets reduced adn experiences low tide.
iv. This situation occurs two times a day on regular basis, water level rises to times in a day and reduces two tides in a day.
v.

Explain why high & low tide are formed on seas.

Read the paragraph and answer the following question: You must be knowing about the high and low tides that occur regularly in the sea. The level of the sea water at any given location along sea shore increases and decreases twice a day at regular intervals. High and low tides occur at different times at places. The level of water in sea changes because of the gravitational force exerted by the moon. Water directly under the moon gets pulled towards the moon and the level of water there goes up causing high tide at that place. At two places on the earth at 90^(@) from the place of high tide, the level of water is minimum and low tides occur there. Where is high tide and low tide caused?
