The moon affect the ocean tides because of the gravitational pull that the moon has. Where the is a high tide, the moon is pulling the water toward it's gravity. The water on the opposite side of Earth, will pull away from the moon.

∙ 9y agoThe Moon's gravitational force affects the water on Earth, causing the oceans to bulge towards the Moon, creating high tides. As the Earth rotates, there are two high tides and two low tides every day. The Sun also plays a role in the tides, but the Moon's influence is stronger due to its proximity to Earth.

Tides are caused by the interaction of Earth, the moon, and the sun. Changes in the positions of Earth, the moon, and the sun affect the heights of the tides during a month.
Yes, Earth does cause tides on the Moon. The gravitational pull of Earth causes the Moon's surface to bulge and create tides, although they are not as pronounced as the tides on Earth due to the Moon's composition and lack of large bodies of water.
The moon's gravitational pull on Earth causes the ocean tides. The gravitational force creates a "stretching" effect on the Earth, with tides occurring as the Earth rotates within the "bulge" of water created by the moon's gravity.

The moon affects the Tides.
The Moon
The moons gravitational pull is what causes tides.
the phases of the moon don't affect tides. Tides are caused by the moon's gravity, the moon is always at the same distance from Earth. Sun also causes the tides. so if the sun and the moon are directed in the same place at Earth extra high tides occur.
Gravitational pull of the sun and the moon may affect the tides. If you notice carefully the tides will be high during a full moon day.
The moon's gravity causes tides on Earth.
Tides are caused by the gravitational forces on Earth from the Moon and the Sun.

No, the moon affects the tides, but the tides do not affect the moon.
