How does the Moon's movement effect the tides?
The moons gravity 'pulls' the earths water creating a 'tide.'
How is the moon related to tides by the moon's gravity?
Because, when there is a high tide, there is a combination of the gravity of the sun and moon pulling on the Earths surface. When that happens, there is high tide. When there is low tide, the moon is on a 90 percent degree different part of the sun, so that area has the least gravity, which means there will be low tide.
