Detailed Solution

The gravitational force of the moon is responsible for the tides in the ocean.
The gravitational attraction between the earth and the moon pulls them toward one another. Water molecules are not rigidly fixed. Consequently, the gravitational force of the moon generates ocean to bulge out at the side closer to the moon. While the earth is rotating, the bulge travel with the rotation and causes high tides.
