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.

Tides refer to bulges in ocean water?
yes its true
Where do the water bulges occur on earth during the tides?
bulges of water in the ocean are called high tides.
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.
The area between bulges of water in the ocean?
The area between bulges of water in the ocean is called a trough. There are generally a couple of these in between: one that is usually high and the other one that is usually low.
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.
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 caused by?
It is caused by the moon's gravitational force.
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).
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
How are satellites able to map the ocean floor?
Due to gravity, ocean water is attracted to areas of high topography and away from areas of low topography on the sea floor, causing bulges and depressions on the ocean surface. Satellite radar can detect these changes in elevation.
The area between the bulges of water is?
The area between bulges of water is a depression or a low-tide area. High tidal bulges have these low-tide areas which would correspond to troughs.
What is the area between bulges of water from tides?
it is called an irrelevant spit. it is called this because it is in between bulges and is basicly what you call irrelevant
