Question

Identify the TRUE statement.

Answer 1

Answer:

B. The tide generating forces creates two bulges in the ocean on opposite sides of the earth

Explanation:

centrifugal force, causes the oceans to bulge on the opposite side facing the moon. While the moon's gravitational pull is strong enough to attract oceans into a bulge on the side of the earth facing the moon, it is not strong enough to overcome the inertia on the opposite side of the earth. As a result, the world's oceans bulge twice once when they are on the side of Earth closest to the moon, and once when they are on the side farthest from the moon.
