The moon's gravity causes waves and tides to rise. During a period called 'high tide', the moon is closer to the Earth than usual, and the result is that it's gravity causes ocean waves to be higher than normal.

How are waves created by the moon?

The moon has a gravity like the earth and therefore as it changes from a full moon to crecent so dose the gravitational pull. It is this gravitational pull on the sea that causes waves and high and low tide. The wind can also have an effect on how strong or high the waves will be

What is the relationship between the phases of the moon and extreme tides?

It's the pull of the moon that determines the tide pull. When it's low tide, and the waves are pulling back from the shore, it means that the Moon is starting to pull away from the Earth. The Moon's cycle pulls away, and comes back over and over in one day. That's what low and high tide are. When the waves are crashing to the shore, it means that the pull of gravity from the Moon is making the waves crash onto the shore. It all depends on the pull of the Moon, and the effect it has on the waves gravity.
