Question
we know that solids and liquids have very ____________ properties and their ability to transfer energy or pressure is what were looking at. because the pull of the moon here at the top and bottom of the earth in our simplified example is more inward, the water in these areas are __________ into their neighbor. this water is being pulled into this neighbor by the lunar gravitational attraction. this is where the pull also becomes a push. so this molecule is pushing and transferring pressure to its neighbor and this continues until enough pressure builds causing the tidal rising of the ocean, forming a __________.
you might expect only one bulge here on the side of the earth facing the moon. but thats not the case. the earth is not only being pulled by the moon, we now know that that same pull turns into a bit of a push on the oceans. the water here is also being pushed this direction, which contributes to a ____________ bulge here at the opposite end (inertia is another force creating the opposite bulge). these bulges of water create tides. tides are the regular rise and fall of ocean water levels.
- Solids and liquids have distinct pressure/energy transfer properties relevant to tides.
- Lunar gravity pulls water toward adjacent areas.
- Gravitational pull creates a pressure buildup forming a tidal bulge.
- Inertia and lunar push create a second bulge opposite the Moon.
