How are the tides affected at the North and South Poles?

Question

thank you for your time and ansers. if you could have some evidence to support your answer, that would be GREAT! thank you, thank you, thank you!!

Answer 1

You get the biggest tide if you on at the equator, and none at all if you are at the north or south pole. The tides at intermediate latitudes are smaller.

Answer 2

The moon's gravity affects the tides on this planet and since the poles are at the extreme ends of the planet surrounded by ice there is little to no effect at the poles now. When the ice caps melt there will be tides at or near the poles.

Answer 3

Tides aren't observed at the poles because at the North Pole, it is all ice and (so far) doesn't melt, and at the South Pole it is snow-covered land, and land isn't observably affected by tides. You need to be somewhere where there is large amounts of liquid water for tides to be apparent.

In the Antarctic, there are supercooled liquid water lakes that are caused by wind blowing and preventing them from freezing, but these are too small to have tidal effects.

Answer 4

They are still affected by the moons, although they are not changed as much, as in some areas on earth. Check out "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tides " for more information on tides.

Answer 5

its the same as any where because when the moon revolves around us and we revolve around the sun it stays the same and because of our tilt and rotation
