Add to ORKGThe Moon's gravity imparts tremendous energy to the Earth, raising tides throughout the global oceans. What happens to all this energy? Scientists studying data from the orbiting TOPEX/Poseidon satellite believe they now have an answer. Users can read about the tidal energy imparted upon the earth by the Moon and where scientists believe it is dissipated, and view animations that show these effects. Educational levels: High school
