2. Cyclical rise and fall of the oceans in response to the forces exerted by the moon and sun.

5. Exactly WHY are there tides Moon and Sun have a gravitational attraction on the Earth’s oceans which creates a bulge. Moon and Sun have a gravitational attraction on the Earth’s oceans which creates a bulge. As the moon revolves around the Earth, the bulge moves across the Earth’s surface. As the moon revolves around the Earth, the bulge moves across the Earth’s surface.

6. Types of Tides Spring Tide Spring Tide Unusually high tide. The sun’s gravitational pull reinforces the moon’s gravitational pull. Occurs during the new and full moon phase.

7. Types of Tides Neap Tide Neap Tide Unusually low tides The sun’s gravitational pull is at a right angle to the moon’s gravitational pull Occurs during the 1st and last quarter moon phases.
