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.

Full Moon: Occurs when the earth, moon and sun âline upâ so that the moon is on the opposite side of the earth. The entire sunlit part of the moon is facing earth, so it appears large, round and bright. New Moon: Occurs when the earth, moon and sun âline upâ so that the moon is between the earth and sun. The entire sunlit part of the moon is on its back side (the half we cannot see from earth), so the moon appears dark and barely visible. Tides: The rise and fall of sea levels caused by the combined effects of the gravitational forces exerted by the moon, the sun and the rotation of the earth.
