The gravitational attraction of the sun, and particularly of the moon. The tides are having the interesting effects of slightly slowing the earth's rotation, and increasing the distance from earth to moon by about an inch per year.

The gravity of the moon causes the earth to 'pulsate' like a big squishy ball, causing the tides. The sun's gravity also has an effect on tides.

Its because of the moon stages, when it is full moon tides are higher than normal.. And when its new moon the tides are a liitle bit softer/lower than normal..

The gravitational pull of the moon creates the tidal movement.
