Why does earth have mean diameter?
Plate tectonics, rotation, and gravitational pull of the Sun, shift the Earth slightly, so that the Earth bulges near the Equator.
Is the earth's shape a perfect circle?
No, a circle is a two-dimensional shape, whereas the Earth has three-dimensions. Many people assume Earth is a sphere, however the Earth is wider at the equator than it is tall at the poles. This shape is described as an oblate spheroid.
Is the center of the earth part of the sun?
Of course not. If it's the center of the Earth, it means that it's part of the Earth, not the sun.
What kind of tide does the observer experience when he is between tidal buldge?
When an observer is located between tidal bulges, they typically experience a low tide. This is because tidal bulges are formed by the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun, causing water to be drawn towards those celestial bodies. As a result, areas between the bulges experience lower water levels. Therefore, when positioned between these bulges, the observer is at a point of minimal water level, indicating low tide.
What is the center part of earth called?
Scientists can never be sure of the exact temperatures at the center of the Earth, because we can not directly travel to the center of the Earth. Some scientists believe it is around 12,500 degrees Fahrenheit.
When magma rises and bulges the crust?
Dikes and sills may form when magma rises and bulges Earth's crust.
Why are there 2 bulges when there is a high tide?
During high tide, there are two bulges because of the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun on the Earth's water. This causes the water to rise in two areas on opposite sides of the Earth, creating the two bulges.
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 are the bulges of water in the ocean called?
Bulges of water in the ocean caused by gravity are called tidal bulges. These bulges result from the gravitational forces of the moon and sun on Earth's surface, creating high tide at the location of the bulge.
Earth's tidal bulges are always aligned with the?
Moon. Tidal bulges are caused by the gravitational force of the Moon pulling on the Earth's water, creating two high tides on opposite sides of the Earth that align with the Moon.
Where do the water bulges occur on earth during the tides?
bulges of water in the ocean are called high tides.
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.
What causes the formation of tidal bulges?
Tidal bulges are caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun on the Earth's oceans, creating a slight distortion in the shape of the water.
What are the bulges of the oceans at the sides of earth facing toward and away from the moon called?
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.
Why the ocean bulges on the sides of the Earth?
The ocean bulge and the tides are caused by attraction from the Moon.
Why are there two tidal bulges as the earth are facing the moon and are moving away from the moon?
aw
What is rounder the moon or the earth?
The moon because the earth bulges at he equator so its like a disk, so the moon is rounder
