Earth's tidal bulges are always aligned with the?
Moon
How many tidal bulges are there on earth at one time?
2
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.
Places on earth between tidal bulges experience a?
Low tide
If the moon were covered with water tidal effects by Earth would find the moon with?
two tidal bulges
What are the relative positions of the Moon Earth and Sun when the tidal bulges are at their largest?
In a line. Sun, Moon, Earth or Sun, Earth, Moon
What does tidal bulge means?
it means a tidal that bulges when the moon is a full moon.
The area between two tidal bulges is?
a spit
Are tidal bulges caused by turbidity currents?
No, false.
When do the tidal bulges created by the moon and sun line up and increase tidal range?
Twice a month. When the moon is directly opposite the sun and when it is in line with the sun in relation to the earth. These are called spring tides.
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 is the definition of tidal bulge?
The gravitational pull of the Sun and the Moon cause the tidal bulges.
