It happens because the Sun pulls on the oceans via the force of gravity, which depends on distance and is stronger on the side facing the Sun and weaker on the opposite side. This causes bulk movements of the water and hence the tides. The Moon also has a lesser effect that gives the difference between spring tides and neaps.

Does Hawaii experience High and Low Tides?
Yes, these are a group of islands in the Pacific Ocean and have tides.
What is a high and low tide?
high tides are high water level they are called spring tides and low tides are low water level they are called neap tides. high tides and low tides occur when the sun, earth and the moon are inline. during new moon there are high tides at west and east and low tides at north and west, because the direction which the moon is facing that direction will have a high tide.
Explain how high tides and low tides occur?
High tides occur when the gravitational pull of the moon and sun cause ocean waters to bulge, creating a higher water level. Low tides happen when the gravitational forces are not directly aligned, resulting in a lower water level. The Earth's rotation also influences the timing and frequency of tides.
What cause the earth to experience high and low tides daily?
The earth's rotation and the proximity of the moon (and the sun to a lesser degree) cause high and low tides each day.
Which phases of the moon bring the highest tides what cause the height tides?
The highest tides, known as spring tides, occur during the full moon and new moon phases when the sun, moon, and Earth are aligned, creating a stronger gravitational pull on the ocean. Spring tides cause higher high tides and lower low tides.
How does gravity effect the ocean?
The moons gravity pulls on the ocean, creating high and low tides. Depending on where the moon is located in contrast to where you are located, the moons gravity cause a spring tide, which is the largest hight range in high and low tides, and a neap tide, which is the least hight in high and low tides. I hope this helps. :)
What does the gravitational that the moon exerts on earth cause?
The gravitational pull of the moon causes tides on Earth. This pull creates a bulging effect in the ocean waters, leading to high and low tides as the Earth rotates.
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.
How many times does the ocean level reach high or low tide?
two high tides and two low tides per day
Does the moon's gravity cause low tide or high tide?
The Moon's gravity is the primary cause of tides - all tides, both high and low.

Why do fisherfolk want to know whether there will de a high tide or low tide?
There will be a high tides and low tides are the effect of the moon's gravitational pull on our ocean
