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.

The Moon affects tides on Earth through gravity. The Sun also affects Earth's tides, but not as much due to its greater distance from the Earth. It's not the simple force of â¦ attraction that makes the tides, but the difference in the attractive force on the opposite sides of the Earth.ess obvious, but true, is the fact that the Moon also causes a high tide on the side of Earth furthest from the Moon. So, there are usually two high tides each day. The movement of the Moon (in its orbit around Earth) means the time between successive high tides is usually about 12 hours and 25 minutes (not 12 hours).
