The moon creates tides. the gravitational pull from the moon pulls on earth's water and creates a "bulge" in the water creating high tide on the water closest to the moon and low tide on the opposite end on the earth.

Partly correct.

There are high tides on the side facing the moon AND the side opposite it. The low tides are at right angles to the part of the earth facing the moon.

The moon has the greatest effect on earths?

The moon's gravitational pull creates tides on Earth due to its proximity and mass. This tidal force causes the ocean levels to rise and fall in a regular pattern. Additionally, the moon also plays a role in stabilizing Earth's rotation and influencing the ecosystem through its effects on wildlife behavior.


How does the moon effect the ocean tide?

the sun has a much smaller effect than the moon. the moon pulls anything toward it wherever it is over earth, which is usually ocean due to the fact that earth is almost all water, so the moon pulls ocean water toward it, causing rougher seas
