Question

11 a tidal bulge occurs ________. on the side of the earth farthest away from the moon when the earth is directly aligned with the sun when the moon is in the new moon phase on the side of the earth nearest the moon

Explanation:

Tidal bulges occur on both the side of the Earth nearest the moon and the side farthest from the moon due to the gravitational pull of the moon. The gravitational force of the moon causes the water on Earth to bulge. The nearest - side bulge is due to the direct pull of the moon, and the far - side bulge is because the Earth is being pulled away from the water on the far side by the moon's gravity. Among the given options, the side of the Earth nearest the moon is a correct location for a tidal bulge.

Answer:

on the side of the Earth nearest the moon
