Tides are differences in gravitational pull between two points of a body. Tidal effects on earth are caused by lunar gravity and, to a much lesser extent, solar gravity. The greatest effect of tidal forces are on water levels along ocean coast lines. The ebb and flow of this water is also known as a tide. Other types of water displacements are caused by wind, earthquakes, etc.
