The differential gravitational fields of the sun and the moon.
(Actually all the planets have some effect ... but its all too small to be detected.)
Note that the small moon has at least 4 times the effect of the giant sun - because it's NOT the gravitational field BUT the difference in the field on the opposite sides of the Earth.
What else can I help you with?
What controls ocean tides?
the moon is the main factor behind the oceans tides.
The rise and fall of ocean water are called?
Tides are the rise and fall of ocean water. They are the combined effects of the gravitational forces exerted by the sun and moon on the rotation of the Earth.
When was Rising Tides created?
Rising Tides was created in 2011.
Are ocean tides inexhaustible?
Yes, ocean tides are considered a renewable energy source because they are driven by gravitational forces from the moon and sun. As long as these celestial bodies continue to exert their influence on Earth, tides will continue to occur.
Does Hawaii experience High and Low Tides?

What is wave and tide?

Daily rise and fall of the ocean waters?
It is called the tide, or tides.
What controls ocean tides?
the moon is the main factor behind the oceans tides.
The rising and lowering of ocean water is called the?
high tides and low tides
How are spring and neap tides different from high and low tides in terms of their impact on ocean water levels?
Spring tides and neap tides are different from high and low tides in terms of their impact on ocean water levels. Spring tides occur when the sun, moon, and Earth are aligned, causing higher high tides and lower low tides. Neap tides occur when the sun and moon are at right angles to each other, resulting in lower high tides and higher low tides. This means that spring tides have a greater impact on ocean water levels compared to neap tides.
