The moon pulls the ocean like a giant magnet. When the moon is close, it pulls water up, making high tide. When it’s far away, water gets left behind, making low tide. It's like when you pull one side of a blanket; the other side bunches up.
Examples
- The ocean rises when the moon is near, like when you pull one side of a blanket, the other side bunches up.
- You can feel the tide at the beach, high tide makes water come up to your ankles, low tide leaves footprints in the sand.
