Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
Tides are a phenomenal process of the related effects of the force of gravity exerted by the Moon, the Sun and the rotation of Earth. So, taking into account that the moon exerts its gravitational force on the ocean, the water gets pulled towards moon and a tall tide is formed. Generally, the tall tides are formed in the area where the gravitational force is the strongest and low tides are formed where the gravitational force is the weakest.
