Tides $-$ Forces $1$

Hide Timer

Part A

The generation of tides is due to a combination of two forces: the centripetal force between Earth and another celestial body in orbit around it and

the frictional force between the ocean water and the ocean bottom

the gravitational force between the Earth and that celestial body

the force of the celestial body's rotation around its own axis

the variation in the Coriolis force with latitude over the Earth

the force of the Earth's rotation around its own axis
