What causes high tide and low tide? Why are there two tides each day? In this diagram, you can see that the moon's gravitational force pulls on water in the oceans so that there are bulges in the ocean on both sides of the planet. The moon pulls water toward it, and this causes the bulge toward the moon. The bulge on the side of the Earth opposite the moon is caused by the moon pulling the Earth away from the water on that side. Up Next. If you are on the coast and the moon is directly overhead, you should experience a high tide.
Tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the sun and the moon  upon the oceans of the earth. The sun has the greatest pull. The  tides are greatest during a new moon wh â¦ en the sun and the moon are  pulling from the same direction.he gravitational attraction of the moon causes the oceans to bulge out in the direction of the moon. Another bulge occurs on the opposite side, since the Earth is also being pulled toward the moon (and away from the water on the far side). Ocean levels fluctuate daily as the sun, moon and earth interact.
