These are basically the "tides" of the Earth, as water in the oceans is spun away from the spinning Earth, but attracted by the Moon and the Sun. The varying topography of the ocean floors determines how these form actual tides.

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.


The area between bulges of water in the ocean?

The area between bulges of water in the ocean is known as a trough. This is the part of the water surface that is lower between two adjacent crests. Troughs are typically found in waves and result from the alternating rise and fall of the water.


Tides refer to bulges in ocean water?

yes its true


What are ocean bulges caused by?

Ocean bulges are caused by gravitational forces from the Moon and Sun. These forces create a slightly elevated area of water in certain parts of the ocean, resulting in bulges that lead to phenomena like tides.


What is the area between bulges of water from tides?

it is called an irrelevant spit. it is called this because it is in between bulges and is basicly what you call irrelevant


Bulges of water in the ocean are?

That's a good way to describe the tides. You can think of a permanent bulge in the ocean, pointing toward the moon, with the earth rotating inside the bulge.

Why the ocean bulges on the sides of the Earth?

The ocean bulge and the tides are caused by attraction from the Moon.


When the ocean bulges what tide is it?

When the ocean bulges, it typically corresponds to a high tide. This bulging occurs due to the gravitational pull of the moon and, to a lesser extent, the sun, causing water to be drawn towards these celestial bodies. As a result, areas of the ocean experience a rise in water level, leading to high tides. Conversely, areas not directly under the influence of these gravitational forces will experience low tides.


Why do regions facing the moon have low tide?

Because the moon's gravity pulls the water towards it. It bulges out in the middle of the ocean, which sucks the water from its outer edges (the shoreline).


Why are there tides in the ocean?

Tides in the ocean are caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun on the Earth's water. The gravitational force from these celestial bodies creates bulges in the ocean's surface, causing the water to rise and fall in a regular pattern, resulting in high and low tides.
