You can see why if you take a large bowl and fill it half way with water. Now move that bowl back and forth, the water will move back and forth too..raising on one side and falling on the other then repeating. That is essentially what the ocean is doing, just on a much much larger scale. The moon also plays a role in the changes in the tide because of its gravitational pull...it actually pulls on the ocean causing the water to move.

Tides are the rise and fall of ocean water. They are the combined effects of the gravitational forces exerted by the sun and moon on the rotation of the Earth.
The cyclical rise or fall of the waters of the ocean is called tide. The tides are caused by the attraction of gravities of the moon, sun, and Earth
