The Moon's gravity pulls ocean water toward it while the Earth revolves.
What else can I help you with?
How does the moon affect the earth's oceans?
The moons gravitational pull is what causes tides.
Who causes the tides?
The tides are caused by the moon's gravitational force.
What causes the tides and how tides affect the earth?

The moon causes Tides
What causes tides on the Texas coast?
The moon.
What object causes Earth's tides?
The Moon is the main body that causes tides , by gravitational acceleration. However, the Sun also has an effect, but because it is much further away from Earth , than the Moon, the Sun's effect on the tides is much less. When the Sun and Moon are pulling together (New Moon) there are very high/low spring tides. When the Sun and Moon are pulling in opposite directions (Full Moon), there are still high/low spring tides, but not quite as high/low. When the Sun and Moon are orthogonal (right- angles) to each other (Firs/Last Quarters) there are Neap Tides. The High/Low tides are not very high/low, because these two objects are pulling at right-angles. Select a place on Earth, say Bay of Fundy in Canada, and check the high/low tides for say 60 days ( 2 mo(o)nths). You will see the above tidal pattern. It goes up and down like a wave.
What are tides in the science form?
The moon's gravitational pull on the earth is what causes tides.
What does the Moon's gravitational pull do to the tides on earth?
It causes the tides (together with the sun).
How do the moon and tides relate?
The gravitational pull of the moon on Earth's oceans causes tides. When the moon is closest to Earth, during a full or new moon, tides are generally stronger (spring tides). When the moon is at a right angle to the sun, during the first and last quarter moon phases, tides are weaker (neap tides).
The part of the moon that causes tides?
The moons mass in general causes the tides. Mass has gravity, and the moon is massive enough for its gravity to pull noticeably on the oceans.
What is the Moon's effect on Earths tides?
The Moon's gravitational pull causes tides on Earth. When the Moon is closest to a particular area, it exerts a stronger gravitational force and creates higher tides known as spring tides. When the Moon is farthest away, it creates lower tides known as neap tides.
