Tides

Tides are caused by gravitational pull of the moon, and to some extent the pull of the sun on the earth’s surface.

The moon exerts gravitational pull on the earth as it orbits around it. This has little effect on land which is solid and inflexible but it has a great effect on the ocean waters because water is liquid can freely move about.
