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.
Cause and Effect of Tides Causes: Tides are caused mainly by the gravitational pull of the Moon on the waters of the ocean.The Moon revolves around the Earth in the exact same direction as the Earth rotates on its axis, but they travel at different speeds.hen there is a full moon or a new moon it causes the Earth to have the best low and high tides. Depending on the relative position of the Moon and the Sun to the Earth it causes different types of tides. A Spring Tide is caused when the Earth, Sun and Moon are lined up.
