the moon and sun pull the water causing tides. spring tides are stronger and happen when the sun and moon are either in the same direction or oposite each other. Neap tides are weaker and happen when the sun and moon are aproximatly on a 90 degree angle.
The moon and the earth have gravitational pulls toward each other. The moon force causes a distortion of the waters of the earth, pulling the waters towards itself. High tide is caused by the pulling of the earth's water on the moon's side by the moon's gravitational force. On the opposite side of the earth, you might expect low tides to occur, but this not the case. On the opposite side of the earth, the waters tend to bulge away from the moon which is also away from the earth and results in high tide, too. That is why you get high tides twice a day even though rotation of the moon around the earth is only once a day. The low tide occurs in right angels to the moon and is the result of the pull of the earth and moon being close to equal. on the opposite side of the earth - the side further away from the moon - results.

The gravity from the Moon moves the tides. So as the Moon moves so do the tides.
Earth's tides are caused by the moon's gravitational pull, along with its magnetic fields working to make high and low tides
It is the gravity pull of the moon and the gravity pull of the sun that causes tides.
The tides are caused by the moon's gravitational force.

The gravitational pull of the Moon and the Sun on the oceans produce tides.
The Moon is the cause for tides rising and falling

At the simplest level, the tides point towards AND away from the moon. (The solar tides point towards AND away from the sun.) The Earth's rotation causes these 2 (or 4) high points to move towards the west.
The moon is majorly important because it causes the tides of the sea. Due to the pull of gravity, the tides arise on the side of the earth because they are strongest there. The moon also causes the earth to move an inch or two during high tide.
The moon's gravitational attraction causes water to rise up to a certain height and simultaneously , Earth's rotational movement causes the raised up water to move forward and it falls down. This gives the appearance of tides.
It is the gravity pull of the moon and the gravity pull of the sun that causes tides.

The tides are caused by the moon's gravitational force.
The gravitational attraction from the Moon and Sun, causes the tides.
The moons gravitational pull is what causes tides.
It causes the tides (together with the sun).
