A rising tide, or high tide, is primarily caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and, to a lesser extent, the sun on Earth’s oceans. As the moon orbits the Earth, its gravitational force creates bulges of water, leading to higher water levels in certain areas. Additionally, the Earth's rotation and the shape of Coastlines can influence tide patterns. Changes in atmospheric pressure and wind can also temporarily affect tide levels.
