What does the pull of the moon on the ocean create?
The pull of the moon's gravity on the ocean causes the tides. When the moon is over water its pull causes the water to bulge (rise toward the moon) as the Earth rotates below the moon this bulge moves. Wherever the bulge is there's high tide. Everywhere else where the water has been pulled away from to make the bulge is low tide.
Bulge of the ocean is pulled toward the moon by what?
The tidal effects are caused by the gravitational forces of the moon and sun. The different positions of the sun and moon are the causes of high and low tides on Earth.
Bulges of water in the ocean are?
That's a good way to describe the tides. You can think of a permanent bulge in the ocean, pointing toward the moon, with the earth rotating inside the bulge.
On what sides does bulge in the earth's oceans appear on earth?
The bulges in the Earth's oceans, known as tidal bulges, occur on the side of the Earth facing the Moon and the side opposite the Moon. The gravitational pull of the Moon causes water to be drawn toward it, creating a bulge on the near side. Simultaneously, a second bulge forms on the far side due to the inertia of the water, as the Earth is pulled slightly toward the Moon. This results in high tides in both locations, while areas perpendicular to these bulges experience low tides.
Why the ocean bulges on the sides of the Earth?
The ocean bulge and the tides are caused by attraction from the Moon.
Bulge that takes place on parts of earth facing or opposite the moon?
This bulge is caused by gravitational forces between the Earth and the Moon, creating tidal forces that deform the Earth's surface. It results in ocean tides rising and falling as water is drawn toward the bulging areas.
Does the moon control human behavior?
No. In fact, the moon controls tides. The gravitational attraction of the moon causes the ocean to bulge out in the direction of the moon. ;)
What does the pull of the moon have to do with ocean tides?
The gravity of the Moon. The gravitation of the Earth and the Moon work on each other. The side of the Earth nearest the Moon receives the greatest effect of the Moon's gravitational pull, creating the bulge in the ocean and high tide beneath the Moon. The bulge on the far side of the Earth is being spun away centrifugally from the center of the combined Earth-Moon mass.
How does the Moon affect the tidal bulge?
The Moon exerts gravitational pull on Earth, creating a tidal bulge on the side of the Earth that faces the Moon. This gravitational force causes water to be drawn toward the Moon, resulting in a rise in sea level, known as high tide. Conversely, on the opposite side of the Earth, a second bulge occurs due to the centrifugal force created by the Earth-Moon system's rotation. Consequently, these tidal bulges lead to the cyclical rise and fall of ocean levels, known as tides.
What is a moon tide?
On Earth, ocean tides are caused by the moon. This is because the moon is pulling on the surface of the Earth and the water in the ocean which is closer to the moon is pulled upward. This upward surge causes high tide while on the opposite side of the Earth (where the moon is furthest from the water) there is a low tide.
Why is there always a high tide on the other side of the earth directly opposite the moon?
High tide occurs on the side of the Earth facing the moon due to the moon's gravitational pull, which causes water to bulge toward it. Simultaneously, there is also a high tide on the opposite side of the Earth because the Earth itself is being pulled slightly toward the moon, creating a centrifugal effect on the water. This results in two high tides occurring simultaneously: one facing the moon and one on the opposite side.
How does the moon effect the ocean tide?
the sun has a much smaller effect than the moon. the moon pulls anything toward it wherever it is over earth, which is usually ocean due to the fact that earth is almost all water, so the moon pulls ocean water toward it, causing rougher seas
