The moon and the earth both have magnetic fields and these are what makes the two attract. When the moon a full moon, more of the moon is seen and therefore more of the force is affected the tides. So, the fuller the moon, the higher the tides. I also believe that the sodium chloride present in the sea waters has some affect on the tides.

What causes increased tidal volume?
The position of the moon & sun relative to the potion of the Earth experiencing the tidal change. The moon and sun both exert gravitational pull on the oceans.
Why is the moon responsible for predicting tidal movements in the earths oceans?
The moon doesn't predict anything, but scientists do and the gravitational pull of the moon , sun, and the earth determines tidal movements.
What is the tidal force of massive body?
It usually used to describe the force of gravity (of the moon) pulling on the oceans and water on Earth thus creating high and low tides. The sun is massive and close enough to Earth to have a significant affect on tides also.
Does Earth produce a tidal effect on the Moon?
Yes. Think in terms of Newton's second law. Earth does produce a tidal effect on the Moon.
What is the effect of the moon's revolution?
A major effect of the Moon's revolution around the Earth is the tides. The gravity of the Moon (and of the Sun, too) pull on the Earth's oceans.The oceans bulge outward on the side facing the Moon and the opposite side of the Earth - shorelines underneath the bulge experience high tide. This bulge is called the tidal bulge. The Earth rotates underneath the bulge, pushing the bulge ahead of the Moon -- the tidal bulge then has a gravitational pull of its own on the Moon. This effect boosts the Moon in orbit. Meanwhile, the friction of the tidal bulge on the Earth's rotation causes the Earth to very slightly slow down.Therefore, because of the effects of the Moon's revolution around the Earth, the Earth's day is getting slightly longer, and the Moon is getting slightly farther away from Earth.
What accounts for the stabilizing effects of Earth's oceans?
controlling of man activities,tidal current,earthquake,precipitation,earth movement.
What causes increased tidal volume?

The moon doesn't predict anything, but scientists do and the gravitational pull of the moon , sun, and the earth determines tidal movements.
What causes the earth to slow down its orbit?
Tidal forces between the Sun and the Earth cause friction in Earth's surface - sort of a rippling - that slows the orbit. It is easier to see these tidal forces acting on the water in our oceans than it is to see in our land, but they are there.
How does a tidal wave start?
tidal wave starts by pressure in the oceans floor
What does tidal energy have to do with gravity?
The gravity of the moon pulls the water of the oceans slightly towards it as the moon moves round the earth. This is what causes the tides. We can harness tidal energy when we place a turbine in a narrow channel where tidal water move swiftly.
How is geothermal energy different from tidal energy?
geothermal is the heat from the earth being used to produce electric power VS tidal use the movement of the oceans tides to produce electric power.
What environmental impact does tidal energy have?
it has an impact by farting from the clowds :)
Which region uses the most tidal energy?
Coastal areas uses most tidal energy. Tides are formed in the oceans.
Why do scientists study Earth s tidal patterns?
Why do scientists study Earth's tidal patterns?
What exerts the greatest tidal force on the oceans?
It is the moon. The sun is a weak second.
What produces tidal range?
the combined forces of the sun and the moon on Earth produces tidal ranges.
