The moon pulls the ocean on the near side of the earth more than it pulls on the center of the earth. The pull on the ocean at the far side of the earth is smaller still. This causes the near ocean to accelerate toward the moon most, the center of the earth less, and the far ocean still less.
Tides are the natural rise and fall that occurs in major bodies of water, such as the ocean or large lakes. Tides are caused by the gravitational relationship between the Moon and the Earth. The Moonâs gravity pulls on the Earth, causing the water to swell in the direction of the Moon. The exact timing and number of high tides per day varies by location, and is affected by such factors as geography, the shape of the coastline, the salinity of the water, the time of year, and the weather, among other things.
