Open to everyone until Tuesday, September 29
To keep it, print it while it is open.
The Moon pulls on Earth’s oceans. Water on the side facing the Moon swells outward and makes a high tide there.
In the picture
- The Moon: the large grey body in space.
- The ocean surface facing the Moon: it swells outward toward the Moon.
- The arrows from the Moon: they point toward the ocean.
Examples
- A beach where the water reaches farther up the sand at high tide.
- A harbour where boats float higher at high tide.
Key takeaways
- The Moon’s pull makes ocean water bulge toward it.
- High tide happens on the side of Earth facing the Moon.
