[00:00:00]Tides are caused by gravity, specifically the gravitational pull of the [music] moon.

[00:00:05]Now, here's where it gets interesting.

[00:00:08]The moon orbits Earth, and as it does, its gravity pulls on the water in our oceans.

[00:00:14]It literally drags the water towards it.

[00:00:17]This causes the sea level to rise on the parts of Earth closest to the moon.

[00:00:21]That's what we call high tide, when the water rises up and covers the beach and the shoreline.

[00:00:27]And low tide is the opposite. When the moon's pull is weakest at that location, the water pulls back, the sea level drops, and you can see the beach, rock pools, even boat sitting on the mud. For the full video lesson, go to my channel.
