The Sun i think
NO!!! It's the gravitational pull of the MOON!!! As it pull the Earth from opposite sides, it causes the tides. This "pull" on the Earth elongates the Earth by about 8 ft in opposite directions. I really hope you didn't use the SUN answer as your final answer. :)

∙ 12y agojust like the earth, the moon the sun and the other heavenly bodies in space have gravity. the moon's gravity acts on the objects on earth but it is on the water that this gravitational pull is most noticeable. as the moon's gravity pulls the earth's water, the water level at the sea rises. this phenomenon is called tides.
i hope this would help askers of this questions :) :) :).............................REIGN.PHIL

What causes the Arctic Ocean to have tides?
The Sun and the moon
The force that causes the ocean tides is?
Gravity from the moon, control's the ocean ( river,streams, lakes, etc) tides.
What mainly causes the ocean tides on earth?
mostly the moon but the wind determines the direction it flows
What causes the patterns of surface currents in the ocean?
The Earth rotating and its tilt of the axis forms the oceans' tides and currents.
Are ocean tides inexhaustible?
yes they are inexable because if the ocean is here then so will water tides
What causes the Arctic Ocean to have tides?
The Sun and the moon
The force that causes the ocean tides is?
Gravity from the moon, control's the ocean ( river,streams, lakes, etc) tides.
What causes ocean tides to rise and fall?
The gravitational pull of the moon.
Which of the heavenly bodies causes the tides in the ocean?
The moon and to some extend the sun
What benefits do you receive from the moon?
The benefit is that the moon causes the ocean tides, high and low.
What is the force that is responsible for tides?
The moon's gravitational force is what causes the ocean tides to change. How Stuff Works has a great diagram and explanation of how this happens.
What causes the t ides?
Tides are caused due to the gravitational pull of the Moon which causes the ocean to bulge out, towards its direction.
What are daily changes in the elevation of the ocean called?
Tide is the answer.
What mainly causes the ocean tides on earth?
mostly the moon but the wind determines the direction it flows
What forces causes the earth's highest tides in the ocean?
The gravity of the moon and sun causes the earth's tides. The greatest tides are called 'spring' tides which occur when the earth, moon and sun are aligned. The moon has the greatest effect on our tides because of its proximity.
How does moon causes tides?
The Moon's gravity pulls ocean water toward it while the Earth revolves.
Does the moon causes the tides?
The Moon's gravity pulls ocean water toward it while the Earth revolves.
