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.
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.
The bulge on the far side of the Earth or Moon is caused by gravitational forces from the object that creates it. This gravitational pull causes a distortion in the shape of the object, leading to the formation of the bulge. On Earth, the bulge is most commonly associated with tides, where the gravitational forces from the Moon create high tides on the side facing the Moon and on the opposite side.
The bulges of the oceans on Earth that are caused by the gravitational pull of the Moon are known as tidal bulges. The bulge facing the Moon is called the "near side bulge," while the bulge on the opposite side, created by the inertial force due to the Earth-Moon system's rotation, is referred to as the "far side bulge." These bulges result in the phenomenon of tides, leading to high and low tide cycles.
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.
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.
The bulge that takes place on parts of the facing or opposite the moon is high tide.
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."
Moon's gravitational force
it means a tidal that bulges when the moon is a full moon.
The moon's gravitational pull causes a bulge in the Earth's oceans by attracting water towards it, creating high tides.
The Moon exerts gravitational pull on Earth, creating a tidal bulge on the side of the Earth that faces the Moon. This gravitational force causes water to be drawn toward the Moon, resulting in a rise in sea level, known as high tide. Conversely, on the opposite side of the Earth, a second bulge occurs due to the centrifugal force created by the Earth-Moon system's rotation. Consequently, these tidal bulges lead to the cyclical rise and fall of ocean levels, known as tides.
