Why are there 2 bulges when there is a high tide

Geography
1 answer:
Vlada [557]3 years ago
6 0
<h2>Answer: Because of inertia</h2>

The tides are produced by a gravitational imbalance that decompensates the oceans throughout the Earth. They are ups and downs of sea level that occur several times a day and change with the lunar phases, but not because of the shape that the Moon looks like.

However, it should be noted that the Sun also exerts a gravitational force in the oceans, <u>but to a lesser extent</u>, because it is further away than the Moon.

The Moon attracts the water that is closest to it; thus, the part of the ocean that is facing the Moon bulges towards it, and on the opposite side too, the water bulges in the opposite direction.

This is due to inertia, because the Moon attracts the whole Earth, in addition to water. What happens is that the earth is rigid and does not bulge. <u>Inertia resists gravity and pulls in the opposite direction</u>. That is why the ocean on the other side of the Earth also bulges, although less.

Answer:

Carbon dioxide; lower than.

Explanation:

Temperature can be defined as a measure of the degree of coldness or hotness of a physical object. It is measured with a thermometer and its units are Celsius (°C), Kelvin (K) and Fahrenheit (°F).

Radiation is simply the transmission or emission of energy in the form of particles or electromagnetic waves through a vacuum, material medium or space.

Earth’s atmosphere helps to regulate its temperature. However, the addition of gases such as carbon dioxide causes more energy to radiate back toward Earth. As a result, the atmospheric temperature increases over time. If Earth had no atmosphere, it would radiate nearly as much energy as it receives from the Sun. This implies that the temperatures on Earth would be lower than Earth’s current temperature.

Use evidence from the section titled I'm Very Young to explain the difference in age between rock samples found on the Atlantic
White raven [17]

Answer:

The rocks at the bottom of the ocean are younger than the rocks on the continent. This can be pessible due to the process called Continental Drift.

Explanation:

For a long time the human being wondered what would be the age relationship between the rocks at the bottom of the ocean and the rocks of the continent. Which rocks were younger or older? The scientific advance that humanity achieved during the second world war allowed this question to be answered, as it was during this period that "sonar" was created, a device that is able to reveal the ocean floor

From the creation of this device, and other equipment, scientists were able to study the underwater mountains known as oceanic dorsals. During these studies, scientists were able to create methods of donating rocks and were able to conclude that the closer to the oceanic mountains the rocks were, the younger they were. On the other hand, the closer to the continent, the rocks were, the older they were. They will conclude that this must have been influenced by the phenomenon called continental drift, which refers to the movement of the masses of the planet over a period of time.
