Best Answer

Tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the Sun and Moon on the Earth's oceans. Basically, the sun and moon attracts water in one area, so drawing the surface upwards. This results in an ebbing tide in other areas. When the moon's influence is removed, the water drops and a flood tide results.
