The water on the side of the earth opposite the sun/moon also rises during high tide because not only is the water pulled by the moon and sun's gravity, but the earth itself is also pulled. This causes there to be a bulge of water on the oppposite side of the earth as well.

Why are there 2 bulges when there is a high tide?

During high tide, there are two bulges because of the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun on the Earth's water. This causes the water to rise in two areas on opposite sides of the Earth, creating the two bulges.


Why the whirlpools in opposite direction spin opposite?

The Coriolis effect causes the direction of rotation to be opposite in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. This effect is a result of the Earth's rotation impacting the movement of fluids such as water in the oceans, influencing the direction of whirlpools in opposite hemispheres.


How does the spinning of Earth affect Earth's water?

Very little as it is spinning at a constant speed. However, the moon does affect the Earth's seas, greatly.


Can two people stand on opposite ends of the earth without being on water?

No, it is not possible for two people to stand on opposite ends of the Earth without being on water. The Earth is mostly covered by water, so if two people were on opposite ends of the Earth, at least one of them would have to be standing on water.


Why is water cold in earth pot in summer season than during rain?

The water is cold in earth pots in summer season than during rains because the pots reflects the heat or cold. Then it produce little opposite temperature.


What causes the tides the rise and fall of sea water everyday?

The gravitational pull of the moon and the sun on the Earth's oceans causes the tides to rise and fall. The gravitational force creates bulges of water on the side of the Earth facing the moon and on the opposite side, leading to high and low tides.


What is a moon tide?

On Earth, ocean tides are caused by the moon. This is because the moon is pulling on the surface of the Earth and the water in the ocean which is closer to the moon is pulled upward. This upward surge causes high tide while on the opposite side of the Earth (where the moon is furthest from the water) there is a low tide.


What process causes water to move from Earth's surface to the atmosphere during the water cycle?

The process that causes water to move from Earth's surface to the atmosphere is called evaporation. This is when water is heated by the sun and changes from a liquid to a water vapor, rising into the atmosphere.


Why is water cold in earth pots in summer season than during rains?

During the summer season, water in earth pots stays cooler because the surrounding temperature is higher, which helps dissipate heat from the water. During rains, the water in earth pots can be warmer because rainwater is typically closer to the ambient temperature, causing the water in the pots to warm up.


Does gravity causes Earth's land water and atmosphere to bulge slighty toward the moon?

Yes, gravity from the Moon causes a slight bulge in Earth's land, water, and atmosphere. This is known as "tidal bulging." The gravitational pull of the Moon creates a force that stretches Earth's surface slightly towards the Moon, leading to high tides on the side of Earth facing the Moon and on the opposite side.


Solar energy causes water on earths surface to change to gas and rise intothe atmosphere during the proses of?

Solar energy causes water on Earth's surface to evaporate and form water vapor, which then rises into the atmosphere. This process is known as evaporation and is a key part of the water cycle, where water is continuously circulated between the Earth's surface and the atmosphere.


Is the sea the opposite of the sky?

Certainly, but smooth water reflects better than turbulent water.
