Along the Gulf Coast, the authors say other factors, such as tidal effects and the ongoing subsidence, or sinking, of the land, can play a more important role.

Taking into account the factors mentioned above, as well as tidal effects from other planets, the team concluded that Venus's axis could have shifted to a variety of positions throughout the planet's evolution.

He also adds: «The tidal effect on an asteroid, which rapidly rotates under the gravitational field of a planet, can fragment these objects or release large rocks from its surface, which could then become such dangerous projectiles at a local scale as the one fell in Cheliábinsk (Russia) on February 15th 2013.»

Hamers: «Gravity can cause strong tidal effects, just as the moon's gravity causes high and low tide on earth.

However, the discovery in 2015 of an oscillation in Enceladus's rotation known as a libration, which is linked to tidal effects, suggests that it has a global ocean and a much thinner ice shell than predicted, with a mean thickness of around 20 km.

As the moon cooled and solidified more than 4 billion years ago, the sculpting effects of tidal and rotational forces became frozen in place.

A sizeable moon in retrograde orbit will, once captured, have a strong tidal effect on the primary (Neptune in this case) in such a way as to make the moon's orbit become both smaller and more nearly perpendicular to the primary's equator.

The new research considers a phenomenon scientists refer to as «tidal heating,» a side effect of planetary orbital patterns.

These two features have disastrous consequences as far as their ultimate fate is concerned, because open clusters are not sufficiently gravitationally bound to be able to withstand the disruptive tidal effects in the Galaxy (see star cluster: Open clusters).

The rest of the film can be rejected, even at the intellectually contemptible level of disaster flicks, for such inept conceptions as a volcano that throws fireballs nowhere except straight at the hotel, and a tidal wave that must be only about one block wide, for all that the tranquil sea views from just up the beach indicate; and for trembly special effects the like of which hasn't been seen since the DeLuxe Color Allens at the turn of the Sixties.

I'm not saying there's direct cause and effect, but it's almost as if the tidal wave of dire pronouncements about the imminent unraveling of the earth's climate and ecosystems several years ago hit a shore and rebounded in a way that now threatens to inundate the source.

Hank (360), despite the equality of gravitational forces, I agree the inequality of tidal acceleration makes it extremely difficult to imagine it as having any effect on any solar cycle.

The present warming phase is now around 15000 years old in its obvious effects, perhaps 20000 in overall duration, and is leading back, as might a «tidal effect», running back from the equator returning to the Polar Regions, which are NOW showing the effects in an observable manner.

There is also the fact that as LOD is influenced by tidal effects from the Sun and Moon and ENSO, zonal winds etc are also to some extent modulated by the same tidal effects the same influence shows up in both.

And if you don't think similar effects dominate in wind as higher altitudes are being reached, geothermal where the same horizontal drilling as makes fossil reserves more accessible now can be used, and tidal, with new materials and methods coming onstream, then by all means, continue to live in your vacuum tube world, getting left behind by the rest of us.

Same problem as with the Sun — only tidal effects are physically significant.

My conclusions about the tidal gauges might be affected by these effects, so I withdraw my sea level rise claim until such time as I've verified my conclusions.»

In January 2012, climate researcher Trevor Prowse put questions to the Bureau of Meteorology about the results charted above, making the point that as the 14 tidal stations are mostly free of urban heat effect, all are at sea level and are well scattered around Australia, they may be more accurate than any other land - based data.

This feature alone can be used as a daily forecast, for the next 18 years, from the repeatability of the global circulation patterns driven by the moon's tidal effects and modulated by the passing of the outer planets heliocentricly.
