Tides are the alternate rise and fall of the ____________________ and seas and the bodies of water that are connected to them . These changes in the surface level of the ocean are caused by the ____________________ force of the moon acting on the oceans and seas .

The force of gravity is ____________________ on the parts of the earth closest to the moon and ____________________ on the parts of the earth farthest form the moon . Water on the side of earth nearest the moon is pulled away from Earth by gravitational force .

On the side of the earth farthest from the moon , the solid earth is closer to the moon than the water resulting in the earth being pulled more toward the moon than the water . This causes a tidal ____________________ . The highest tides occur when the moon and the sun are in line with Earth .
