The moon affect the ocean tides because of the gravitational pull that the moon has. Where the is a high tide, the moon is pulling the water toward it's gravity. The water on the opposite side of Earth, will pull away from the moon.
There are high tides on the side of Earth facing the moon.

Tides are caused by the interaction of Earth, the moon, and the sun. Changes in the positions of Earth, the moon, and the sun affect the heights of the tides during a month.
Yes, Earth does cause tides on the Moon. The gravitational pull of Earth causes the Moon's surface to bulge and create tides, although they are not as pronounced as the tides on Earth due to the Moon's composition and lack of large bodies of water.
The moon's gravitational pull on Earth causes the ocean tides. The gravitational force creates a "stretching" effect on the Earth, with tides occurring as the Earth rotates within the "bulge" of water created by the moon's gravity.

The moon affects the Tides.
Both Sun and Moon affect the Earth's tides. However, the Moon's gravitational pull is greater that the Sun's gravitational pull. When the S - M - E are in a direct line ( Solar Eclipse line ), both the Sun and the Moon are pulling together. so you have VERY High/Low Spring Tides. When the S- E - M are in a direct line ( Lunar Eclipse line), the Sun and the Moon are pulling in opposite directions. The Moon has the greater gravitational pull , so you have High/Low Spring Tides. , but not quite as high for a S-M- E. alignment. NB The 'High/Low' means that the range between High Tide and Low Tide is at it greatest. When the S - E ¬ M are at right angles, Earth at the right angle. You have Neap Tides . The range between high tides and low tide is small. This is because the Sun and the Moon are pulling at right angles to each other. NB THe symbol ' ¬ ' means at right angles. Also there is the 'wheel balancing' effect. Where ever the Moon is in relation to the Earth, there is an High Tide. On the opposite side of the Earth , away from the Moon, there is also another high tide, not quite as high, This can be thought of as the 'wheel balancing' effect. In between at approximately 90/270 degrees is the corresponding low tide. The Earth rotates, and the tide follows the Moon. NNB Select a point on the map, say New York harbour, or Bay of Fundy. Then look at the heights, lows and times of the tides, over a period of say 60 days( 2 mo(o)nths). You will see it follows a 'wave' like curve'. Hope that helps.
the phases of the moon don't affect tides. Tides are caused by the moon's gravity, the moon is always at the same distance from Earth. Sun also causes the tides. so if the sun and the moon are directed in the same place at Earth extra high tides occur.
The moons gravitational pull is what causes tides.
Gravitational pull of the sun and the moon may affect the tides. If you notice carefully the tides will be high during a full moon day.
The moon's gravity causes tides on Earth.
The moon affects the tides because its gravitational pull creates a bulge in the Earth's oceans, causing high and low tides as the Earth rotates.
Tides are caused by the gravitational forces on Earth from the Moon and the Sun.
Tides are caused by the interaction of Earth, the moon, and the sun. Changes in the positions of Earth, the moon, and the sun affect the heights of the tides during a month.
