When the ocean rises and falls in that rhythmic way, we call that the tide. Gravity is the driving force behind the movement of massive amounts of water around the globe on an hour-to-hour basis. The moon, and, to a lesser extent, the sun, are the culprits behind this extraordinary phenomenon. There are some links below for more information.
