The pull of the moon's gravity on the ocean causes the tides. When the moon is over water its pull causes the water to bulge (rise toward the moon) as the Earth rotates below the moon this bulge moves. Wherever the bulge is there's high tide. Everywhere else where the water has been pulled away from to make the bulge is low tide.

Which is greater the moon's pull on earth or earths pull on the moon?
The moon is only strong enough to push and pull the tides in the ocean on earth. The earths pull is so strong it moves the entire moon in circles.
What makes the tides in the ocean?
The gravitational pull of the moon.
What other substance on earth does the gravity of the moon have the greatest pull on?
The Ocean
Does earth's gravity pull on sun?
Yes, there is a gravitational pull that works both ways. Just as the moon is held in orbit by the gravitational pull of the Earth, likewise the gravitational pull of the moon has its effect on the Earth, most commonly seen in its effects on the tides of the ocean. No doubt the gravitational pull of the Sun also effects ocean tides and other unseen effects.
How does the moon determine the weather?
With the exception of the ocean tides here on earth, which are caused by the pull of the Moon, the Moon has no effect on earths weather. And the Moon has no weather of it's own, of course.
Does the pull of the moon create tides?
Yes,the gravitational pull of the moon actually does create tides at night time, when it is close to Earth
What is the ocean is changed by?
The ocean tides have to do with the moon and the gravitational pull between the moon and the Earth.
Which is greater the moon's pull on earth or earths pull on the moon?
The moon is only strong enough to push and pull the tides in the ocean on earth. The earths pull is so strong it moves the entire moon in circles.
What are the things that affect the height of an ocean wave?

Where does ocean tidal come from?
Ocean tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the Moon.
How do ocean waves travel?

What makes the tides in the ocean?
The gravitational pull of the moon.
What energy results in an ocean tide?
gravitatonal pull by the moon
What brings energy the ocean water?
The moon's gravitational pull.
What is the gravitational pull of the sun and the moon?

Ocean tides are caused by what?
Tides are mainly caused by the pull of the moon.
What is the large body affects the ocean's tides?
The moon's pull on gravity affects the ocean's tides.
