The two bulges are due to gravity. One because the Ocean waters are being pulled from the Earth (by the Moon); the other on the opposite side of the earth, through inertia, to counterbalance the moon bulge.

What happens on the side of earth opposite of the moon?

On the side of the Earth opposite of the moon, there is a gravitational effect known as the "tidal bulge." This is caused by the moon's gravitational pull creating a slight deformation of the Earth's shape. The water bulges on both sides of the Earth, resulting in high and low tides.


What is the correct representation of tidal bulges on Earth when the moon is in the depicted position?

Ah, isn't that just lovely? You see, when the moon is in that particular position, it creates two high tides on Earth, one on the side facing the moon and one on the opposite side. These high tides create what we call tidal bulges, creating a beautiful dance between our Earth and the moon.


What is spherical lens?

Any convex lens bulges out from each side. It is thicker at the centre of the lens and thinner at the edges. I am supposing that a spherical convex lens has convexity on both sides, but on one of those sides the glass is so curved that it has the shape of part of a sphere.


How does moon impact tidal behavior of oceans on earth?

The moon and the earth both have magnetic fields and these are what makes the two attract. When the moon a full moon, more of the moon is seen and therefore more of the force is affected the tides. So, the fuller the moon, the higher the tides. I also believe that the sodium chloride present in the sea waters has some affect on the tides.


Does high tide occur at same time on both sides of earth?

No, high tide does not occur at the same time on both sides of the Earth. High tide is influenced by various factors such as the position of the moon, sun, and the geography of the area. As a result, high tides can occur at different times at locations around the world.

On what sides does bulge in the earth's oceans appear on earth?

The bulges in the Earth's oceans, known as tidal bulges, occur on the side of the Earth facing the Moon and the side opposite the Moon. The gravitational pull of the Moon causes water to be drawn toward it, creating a bulge on the near side. Simultaneously, a second bulge forms on the far side due to the inertia of the water, as the Earth is pulled slightly toward the Moon. This results in high tides in both locations, while areas perpendicular to these bulges experience low tides.

Does the moon affect life on earth land?

It only affects the tides and waves. The gravitational pull of the moon causes the rise and fall of ocean tides. The moon's gravitational pull causes two bulges of water on the Earth's oceans-one where ocean waters face the moon and the pull is strongest and one where ocean waters face away from the moon and the pull is weakest. Both bulges cause high tides. These are high tides. As the Earth rotates, the bulges move around it, one always facing the moon, the other directly opposite. The combined forces of gravity, the Earth's rotation, and other factors usually cause two high tides and two low tides each day.
