Are tidal bulges caused by turbidity currents?
No, false.
How many tidal bulges are there on earth at one time?
2
Places on earth between tidal bulges experience a?
Low tide
The pull of the moon on Earth's tidal bulge is causing .?
The pull of the Moon - and, to a lesser degree, of the Sun - causes "tidal bulges". These bulges of water cause the high tides on Earth. The Moon's gravitational pull on the bulge of water nearest to the Moon, causes the Earth's rotation to very gradually slow down, due to frictional forces. Finally, (because of the need to conserve "angular momentum") it causes the Moon to gradually move away from Earth.
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 tidal bulge means?
it means a tidal that bulges when the moon is a full moon.
Earth's tidal bulges are always aligned with the?
Moon
The area between two tidal bulges is?
a spit
Are tidal bulges caused by turbidity currents?
No, false.
How many tidal bulges are there on earth at one time?
2
If the moon were covered with water tidal effects by Earth would find the moon with?
two tidal bulges
Places on earth between tidal bulges experience a?
Low tide
How many tidal bulges move around earth daily?
Two. Tides result from the two tidal bulges that "move" around the earth daily as a result of the gravitational attractions of the moon and sun and the rotation of the earth.
What is the definition of tidal bulge?
The gravitational pull of the Sun and the Moon cause the tidal bulges.
Why are there two tidal bulges as the earth are facing the moon and are moving away from the moon?
aw

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.
