In an ocean basin the tidal bulge is pushed by the Coriolis effect to the western part of the basin. Where will the basin be experiencing low tide?

The eastern side

The western side

The southern side

The northern side

What would happen to Earth's tides if we didn't have a moon?

we would have tides just lower fluctuations

we would have tides just higher fluctuations

we would no longer have tides

there would be no change since the sun would be there

Any object at the same distance as the Moon.

An object twice the size of the Earth at the same distance as the Moon.

An object twice the size of the Earth but twice the distance as the Moon.

A.

Position A & B

B.

Postions B & C

C.

Positions A & C

D.

Postions A & D.

Explanation / Answer

1. Image not given

2. Option A , Eastern Side

As earth rotates from west to east, the tidal bulge shifts towards the western boundary of the ocean basin and the water surface slops gently downward toward the east. So the western boundary of the ocean basin experiences high tide and eastern boundary experiences low tide.

3. Option A, we would have tide, but lower fluctuations

A moonless earth will also change the size fo tides on earth because sun still has an effect called as solar tides, making them about one-third as high as they are now.

4. Option C, An object twice the size of the earth at the same distance as the moon

The Gravitation force is proportional to product of their masses and inversely proportional to teh square of teh distance between them.

So for an increase in gravity, size or mass of the object has to increase and/or ditance between the two masses have to decrease.
