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.

Bulge of the ocean is pulled toward the moon by this?
Moon's gravitational force
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.
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.
Why the ocean bulges on the sides of the Earth?
The ocean bulge and the tides are caused by attraction from the Moon.
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. ;)
Does gravity causes Earth's land water and atmosphere to bulge slighty toward the moon?
True
Tide result from pull of gravity exerted upon the earth by what or is it nothing?
Yes, Tides are periodic rises and falls of large bodies of water. Tides are caused by the gravitational interaction between the Earth and the Moon. The gravitational attraction of the moon causes the oceans to bulge out in the direction of the moon. Another bulge occurs on the opposite side, since the Earth is also being pulled toward 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.
Where does the moon point toward?
It doesnt point anywhere it is constantly rotating. But it is pulled by the earth.
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
Does gravity cause earths land water and atmosphere to bulge slightly towards the moon?
The moons orbit causes the water to do this. The gravitational pull of the moon causes the water to be pushed and pulled
How does the moon causes tide?
The Moon's gravity pulls ocean water toward it while the Earth revolves.
