Gravity, Inertia, and the Two Bulges. Two tidal bulges are created on opposite sides of the Earth due to the moon's gravitational force and inertias counterbalance. Click the image for a larger view.Gravity is a major force responsible for creating tides.Inertia, acts to counterbalance gravity. It is the tendency of moving objects to continue moving in a straight line. Together, gravity and inertia are responsible for the creation of two major tidal bulges on the Earth (Ross, D.A., 1995).ravity, Inertia, and the Two Bulges.

Neap tides are the result of the moon and sun working against each other's pull. When the moon is in its first and third quarter phases the earth, sun and moon are at a right angle to each other.Though the moon's pull is stronger, the sun's gravitational pull is lessening the effect of the moon's gravitational pull on the oceans.pring Tides. Spring tides are the result of the moon and sun working together to exert more pull on the earth's oceans. When the moon is in its full and new stages the earth, sun and moon are all aligned.
