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. This phenomenon is known as tidal force. A tide is a periodic variation in the height of the ocean surface caused by the gravitational interaction between the Moon and Earth. The gravitational force of the Moon pulls water toward it, causing a tidal bulge on the side of the Earth facing the Moon. At the same time, there is a tidal bulge on the opposite side of the Earth, caused by the centrifugal force resulting from the Earth-Moon system's orbital motion. As the Earth rotates, tidal bulges move around the Earth.
