The biggest reason there are tides in the ocean is the gravitational pull of the moon. As the moon orbits the Earth, its gravitational force causes water to bulge out in the direction of the moon, creating high tides. This effect is further influenced by the Earth's rotation and the positioning of the sun, but the moon is the primary driver of tidal movements.
