The moon has it's own gravitational pull. The earth's gravity keeps the moon in orbit, while the moon's gravity tugs on the earth. This pull from the moon creates a bulge on the earth, especially on the oceans. This pull is what causes the tides to change.

What causes a bulge to be created on the opposite side of the earth or far side of the moon?
by the inertia.
What causes a bulge to be created on the opposite side of the moon?
The gravitational pull of the earth causes a bulge on the opposite side of the moon. The gravitational pull of the earth is greater than the gravitational pull of the sun.
What is a aqueous bulge?
An aqueous bulge is a bulge that occurs in water. There is one on each side of the earth, one facing the moon and the other facing away from the moon, causing tides to occur.
What is the effect of the moon's revolution?
A major effect of the Moon's revolution around the Earth is the tides. The gravity of the Moon (and of the Sun, too) pull on the Earth's oceans.The oceans bulge outward on the side facing the Moon and the opposite side of the Earth - shorelines underneath the bulge experience high tide. This bulge is called the tidal bulge. The Earth rotates underneath the bulge, pushing the bulge ahead of the Moon -- the tidal bulge then has a gravitational pull of its own on the Moon. This effect boosts the Moon in orbit. Meanwhile, the friction of the tidal bulge on the Earth's rotation causes the Earth to very slightly slow down.Therefore, because of the effects of the Moon's revolution around the Earth, the Earth's day is getting slightly longer, and the Moon is getting slightly farther away from Earth.
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 that takes place on parts of the faceing or opposite the moon?
The bulge that takes place on parts of the facing or opposite the moon is high tide.
Bulge of the ocean is pulled toward the moon by this?
Moon's gravitational force
How does the moon create a buldge?
The moon creates a bulge by exerting graviatational forces on the Earth, the same as the Earth exerts upon the moon. This generally affects the oceans and can cause a "bulge."
What does tidal bulge means?
it means a tidal that bulges when the moon is a full moon.
When was The Battle of the Bulge... The Brave Rifles created?
The Battle of the Bulge... The Brave Rifles was created in 1965.
When was Battle of the Bulge - film - created?
Battle of the Bulge - film - was created on 1965-12-16.
How do you know that the water nearest the moon forms a bulge?
Primarily by direct observation. The bulge does however lag slightly behind
