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.

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.

It is actually the gravitational attraction of the sun and moon that cause waters of the ocean to swell and recede at different parts of the earth. The Moon Tide. The earth and the moon are two great masses that have a significant gravitational pull on each other. This is what keeps the moon in orbit around the earth, and it is also what causes tides to occur in the ocean. Picture the earth with a uniform level of water all around it.
