← ScienceWhich mechanism causes a tidal bulge on Earth's far side?
A)Differential gravitational force✓
B)Conservation of angular momentum
C)Electromagnetic wave interference
D)Coriolis effect amplification
💡 Explanation
Uneven gravitational pull causes two tidal bulges; the differential gravitational force draws the near-side water more strongly, diminishing on the far side; therefore the inertia causes a bulge there too, rather than it staying completely flat.
