A presentation about tidal force. I tried to make it concise yet stuffed with every possible information that i could find. Hope the presentation may help you out. Good luck!
3. Introduction
• Definition
• The tidal force is an apparent
force that stretches a body
towards and away from the
centre of mass of another body
due to a gradient in gravitational
field from the other body.
• This happens due to inverse
square nature of gravity.
• Effects
• Tides
• Tidal Locking
4. Misconception: Tides on Earth
• Tide on earth happens due to strong
gravitational pull of moon.
• Earth’s gravity is a millionth time stronger
than moon.
5. Types Of Tides On Earth
• Spring Tide
• Neap Tide
• Proxigean Spring Tide
6. Tidal Locking
In every 100 thousand year moon slows our
earth’s rotation by 2 Secs and drifts back by 6 cm
per year.
