  2. Why there are tides. • An ocean tide is the rise and fall of the ocean’s water. • Tides are caused by minor differences in gravitational attraction between the sun and the moon. • When the moon is farther from one side of the earths ocean that farther side is where there is a low tide. The side closest to the moon is a high tide. • There are two big humps of water on the earth where water is held.

  3. Facts • There are two big humps of water on the earth where water is held. • The sun also pulls on the earth but not nearly as much as the moon because it is so far away. • One low-tide/high-tide cycle takes about 12 hrs and 25 min
