Post by: oiratno on Mar 29, 2017
Which of the following is not true of tides? 
A)  The Moon's gravitational pull on Earth is greater than that of the Sun's. 
B)  Inertia produces a bulge on the side of Earth opposite that of the Moon. 
C)  Tidal bulges rotate with Earth; i.e., they move with the landmasses as Earth rotates. 
D)  The tidal bulge located on the side of Earth opposite that of the Moon results from the fact that it is "left in position" while the water on the side facing the Moon is drawn toward the Moon. 
E)  Most places on Earth experience two high tides and two low tides each day.
