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.

why does a neap tide occur during this time? that is when the pull of gravity from the moon is at a 90 degree angle with the pull of gravity from the sun What is different between high tide and low during a spring tide vs. a neap tide? great difference between high tide and low tide during a spring tide than a neap tide Why does this difference occur? The combined forces of a the Moon's gravity and the Sun's gravity in a line produces tides with the greatest difference between consecutive low and high tides during a spring tide. During a neap tide the opposing forces of the Sun's gravity and the Moon's gravity at a 90 degree angle produces tides with the least difference between consecutive low and high tides.
