The Sun and the Moon influence the Earth's tides. When the Moon attracts the ocean nearest to it by gravitation pull, it creates a dome of water. As the dome rises so water is pulled away from areas out of reach of the Moon's main attraction, causing an ebb tide. As the influence of the Moon lessens as it orbits the Earth, so the dome moves on and the water flows back forming a flood tide.
