The moon's gravity causes high and low tides, something known as the tidal force. As the tidal force shifts Earth's mass, it ...

Scientists have captured magnetic signatures from Earth's ocean tides in the finest detail yet. These faint signals, which certain satellites can detect when flying at very low orbits, may hold clues ...

Every year, the moon, Earth's reliable celestial companion for 4.5 billion years, is getting 1.5 inches away. The distance to ...

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 ...

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 ...

So the bottom line is that the gravity of the closer tidal bulge on the Earth is pulling the Moon forward, which increases ...

King tides will be seeping into South Florida in the coming days, but some will be stronger than others. The tides will recur ...

The highest tides of the year are here for much of the week, and sagging fronts will continue to bring rounds of intense ...

That the surface of the earth itself may be subject to tides like those of the ocean has long seemed probable,* but there has been no tidal gauge to measure these heavings accurately. At the ...

Researchers have detected fluctuations in Earth's magnetosphere created by the same tidal forces that the moon exerts on the oceans. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

Faults in the Ridgecrest, California area were very sensitive to solid earth tidal stresses in the year and a half before the July 2019 Ridgecrest earthquake sequence. Faults in the Ridgecrest, ...
