  • the highest tides called spring tides and the lowest tides called neap tides

  • VERY GOOD

  • theres a mistake at 2:55 it says: first high tide and second high tide...isnt it ment to be: first high tide and second low tide????

  • Comment removed

  • If the moon is able to affect the ocean does that mean it also has an effect on us? Is gravity less than 9.81m/s when the moon's taken into account?

  • @NotBadYeah think of it, the moon affects the ocean(water)...we are 90% water...don't you think that we are affected by the moon, since we are 90% water ? of course it does :-)

  • @NotBadYeah hi, yes the moon and the sun affects everything on earth, even the earths crust. that 9.81 value is measured on earth, so it is affected by the moon and sun already. only very sensitive devices can measure the difference when the moon and sun change positions (which they constantly do).

  • @evvert00 Thanks a lot :D , Sorry, I had been drinking when I asked this question. But you have cleared some stuff up for me! English is my second language, even though I am Australian, I hope you can understand what I'm saying.

  • HAhahaha whatching this in school

  • This is completly wrong. The truth is when Chuck Norris gets on the water its high tide, when he gets out its low tide. (He has a strict scheduel) You fools, you realy thought it was the moon :p pleas :p

  • Bill O reilly needs to watch this video

  • I just have one question: If the moon affects the water in the oceans thus lifting them up to create 'high tides' then why doesn't that same gravitational pull affect us. After all we are made up of a large percentage of water. Why aren't we lifted up or at least stretched when the moon is nearby?

  • comparing the mass of the moon and of an average human being, our mass is relatively small compared to that of the oceans as the Law of Gravitation [ F= (Gm1m2)/r^2] suggests. therefore, there is still attraction but its not as obvious like that in the oceans because also of the fact that they do not have a definite volume and shape (liquid). Furthermore, humans are (usually) in the land, not on the oceans, the same reason why your lakes and rivers do not have tides...

  • Wtf it's in B/W and there is no sound

  • @1996maxmillion welcome to the 1950'a

  • neop mr. Dentice

  • LOL, who taught you to read and type? You're really a trained chimp I bet.

  • this is proof that modern science is a load if jizz.  The moon has no such drastic effect on earths water. If you are a smart ass then see that the water formation is linked to the earths magnetic field and the moon is also attached to that hence why it always faces earth

    DUH

  • @cjellwood : have you ever seen water being attracted by a magnet, dear smart ass? What a stupid reasoning are you giving? The explanation is perfectly correct, otherwise why on fullmoon and newmoon days the height of the tides are more?

  • @kjayadev2007 have you ever seen a magnet on fire with another magnet orbiting it?

  • @cjellwood I don't get what you are trying to drive at. But according to Newtons Law, No matter how far two objects away from each other, there will definitely be an attractive force between them which diminishes as 1/r^2 where r is the distance between them.  If you think there is some other cause for the tides than the Moon's & Sun's gravitational attractive force on water on earth then the height of the tides should be independent of the position of the Moon and the Sun which is not true.

  • @cjellwood If some material is to be attracted by a magnet then it should have the property of getting polarized when subjected to a magnetic filed. It means it will turn into a magnet in a magnetic field. Otherwise it won't respond to a magnet. Iron is that kind of a material whereas water is not and therefore magnetic force won't have any appreciable effect on water. I have given sufficient explanation and still if you wish to argue, I am not going to care.

  • thank u

    one love :)

  • very informative
