Bulge of the ocean is pulled toward the moon by this?
Moon's gravitational force
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.
What are ocean bulges caused by?
It is caused by the moon's gravitational force.
Why the ocean bulges on the sides of the Earth?
The ocean bulge and the tides are caused by attraction from the Moon.
What are ocean bulges called?
Bulges in the ocean are called tides. These are the rising and falling motions of the sea, caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and sun on the waters of the Earth.
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.
Why the highest tides occur during a new moon or a full moon?
it is when the gravitational pull of the moon is the strongest so it creates huge bulges of the ocean water
What are the bulges of water in the ocean called?
These are basically the "tides" of the Earth, as water in the oceans is spun away from the spinning Earth, but attracted by the Moon and the Sun. The varying topography of the ocean floors determines how these form actual tides.
What causes synchronous rotation?
This is the answer------ A massive planet exerts a tidal force on a moon that causes the moon to align itself such that its tidal bulges always point toward and away from the planet.
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.
Why do regions facing the moon have low tide?
Because the moon's gravity pulls the water towards it. It bulges out in the middle of the ocean, which sucks the water from its outer edges (the shoreline).
What type of gravitational pull causes a high tide?
The tides are primarily caused by the gravitational pull of the moon
