Which mechanism causes a tidal bulge on Earth's far side?

💡 Explanation

Uneven gravitational pull causes two tidal bulges; the differential gravitational force draws the near-side water more strongly, diminishing on the far side; therefore the inertia causes a bulge there too, rather than it staying completely flat.
