An image of the Earth and moon comparing ocean tides (shown as a small blue ring) to plasmasphere tides (shown as a large orange ring) The moon exerts a previously unknown tidal force on the "plasma ...

A flip in a natural moon cycle combined with rising seas from climate change will cause rapid and "dramatic" increases in flooding along U.S. coastlines by the mid-2030s, according to a NASA study.

We’ve all heard of ocean tides, but have you ever heard of Earth tides? Yes, just like the ocean, the Earth’s crust also moves up and down daily. Just like ocean tides, Earth tides occur because of ...

Earthquakes can be triggered by the Earth’s tides, UCLA scientists confirmed Oct. 21 in Science Express, the online journal of Science. Earth tides are produced by the gravitational pull of the moon ...

Time and tide, as the ancient saying goes, wait for no one. But what is a tide? The word “tide” is a bit confusing; most people think of it as the ebb and flow of the ocean at the beach, caused by the ...

They roll in and roll out. They're one of the Earth's steadiest forces, moving water from the ocean onto the land and then taking it back. Ocean tides are one of the oldest fields of scientific ...

Isn't it soothing to watch the ebb and flow of the ocean by the beach? The dance of the seas, which brings high and low tides in a constant pattern, has been fascinating humans for centuries. It is ...

Mark Hemer receives funding from the National Environmental Science Program Earth Systems and Climate Change Hub, and the Australian Renewable Energy Agency. The short answer is that the Moon’s ...

When the moon is closest to Earth and there’s a new or full moon, the sun, moon and Earth line up, causing an extra-strong pull to create an extra-high tide. King tides are two to four feet higher ...

IN some respects notable progress has been made in the problem of the earth tides since 1862, when Lord Kelvin directed attention to the difference between the observed amplitudes of the fortnightly ...
