Yes, the gravity of the moon (and to some extent the sun) is responsible for producing the sea tides as the earth rotates.

Why does the moon control the tide of the sea?
It has to do with the Moon's gravitational pull on the Earth.
How is the moon related to tides by the moon's gravity?
Because, when there is a high tide, there is a combination of the gravity of the sun and moon pulling on the Earths surface. When that happens, there is high tide. When there is low tide, the moon is on a 90 percent degree different part of the sun, so that area has the least gravity, which means there will be low tide.
Why does the sea rise and fall twice a day?
The sea rise and falls twice a day because of the gravitational force of the moon. in 24 hours the earth rotates 360 degrees. assuming the moon is stationary and I am at one point on the earth at 0.00 hours the sea is half way between high and low tide , the moon having half gravitational effect mid tide at 3.0 hours the moon is in line with me on the earth having high tide. at 6.00 hours the moon is half way round having half effect, mid tide at 9.00 hours the moon is at right angles having full effect, low tide at 12.00 hours the moon is half way round having half effect, mid tide at 15.00 hours the moon is in line having full effect, high tide at 18.00 hours the moon is halfway round having half effect, mid tide at 21..00 hours the moon is at right angles having low tide full effect at 24.00 hours the moon is halfway round having half effect and repeat the next day later, Two high and two low tides per day
What are the effects of the earth and moon's movements?
The effects are the moon phases, eclipses, and the high tide and low tide.
Does the moon's gravity have anything to do with red tide?
Red Tide is a term that refer to Algae blooms of toxic phytoplankton, it has nothing to do with the ocean tide or the moon's gravity.
How is moon tide effective?
Because the gravity of the moon pulls the sea in or out that is called a tide when the sea comes in or goes out. da everyone knows that loosers

How does the water level along the coast differ at high tide and at low tide?
Because of how the moon pulls the tides with its gravitational force, at high tide the level along the coast rises, and at low tide it lowers back into the sea.
Why neap tide called neap tide?
Rise and fall of sea levels is called tide. When the sun and moon are at right angles to the earth, the sun partially contracts the pull of the moon, producing lower high tides typical of a neap tide.
When does high tide happens?
night
What is the rise and fall of the ocean water is called?
The tide
What effect of the moon would you see if you lived by the sea?
The tide. An effect of the moon's gravity pulling the water towards it creating a slight bulge moon-side of the planet.

What tide occurs during a full Moon and a new Moon?
wave tide
What is tide that's flows toward the sea?
When the sea is retreating from the land, it is an ebb tide. When the sea is coming in, it is a flood tide.
What are some of the best tide watches for fishermen?
Some of the best tide watches for fishermen are Casio Men's SPF 40 - 1V Sea Pathfinder Tide Watch and Nixon's Tide Watches. Moreover, Casio ProTrek with Tide and Moon Data is one of the best tide watches for fishermen.
