The Moon's gravitational pull on the Earth, and to a lesser degree the Sun's gravity as well. The Sun's gravity force is much weaker on Earth's surface than the Moon's gravity because of its greater distance.
While the Moon creates the overall change in the level of the oceans, each location will have slightly different tides because of sea depths, topography, and other factors.

Not much. Contrary to popular belief, there is no evidence that lunar cycles have any sort of impact on the physiology or anatomy of animals (or people for that matter). However, many animals, expecially nocturnal ones, will react to the brightness of the moon by changing how/where and when they hunt for food.
yes it does
yes the moon does effect the ocean tides because the moon and the sun are both pulling on the gravity form earth wich is making the low tides and high tides
yes it does
Each day there are two high tides and two low tides. The time between high and low tide is a little over 6 hours and the entire tidal cycle repeats itself four times each day. The regularity of the tides corresponds to the regular orbit of the moon around the earth and the rotation of the earth as it orbits around the sun.
Depending upon the position of the moon relative to the earth and sun, a moon can have different phases. The phases of the moon are also very regular, and have been used for thousands of years to keep track of time using the lunar calendar. In addition to the daily movements of the moon, these monthly lunar cycles can also impact the tides.
They don't in any other way than providing more light to tend to your plants at night when no other light source is available; or if they are planted in a location that is affected by being drowned by tides.
The Sun always shines on half of the Moon. As the Moon circles the Earth, we Earthlings see a the near half of the Moon, but we can't always see all of the illuminated half. This difference in direction - the Sun shines from the Sun but we see from the Earth - causes the effect of "phases" of the Moon.
There is a gravitational pull that exists between the planetarial masses of the earth, moon sun respectively.
The stronger force exists between earth and moon as far as tides are concerned.
As the earth and moon orbit each other on a daily basis a gravitational pull is exerted on a section of ocean mass on the side closest of the earth to the orbiting moon.
This results in a section of rotating ocean mass that imparts a translation force component to water at right angles to the gravitational force on the surface of the earth.
The sun kicks in force wise when a monthly alignment of the earth moon and sun takes place. This is the point where a king tide occurs.
The other significant force influencing tides is that imparted by the wind ond the ocean surface.
The moon though smaller than the earth has a gravitational effect on us. This is most noticable in the changing on the tides. The moon's gravity pulls on the worlds oceans giving us high and low tides. This can affect with fishing as with the changing of the tides nutrients can be dragged up from the oceans depth giving fish a concentrated time period to get the most food. The best time for this is around a new or full moon. Keep in mind there are plenty of other factors in play.
Yes. The tides are effected by the moon. The cyclical rise and fall of seawater (ocean tide) is created when the gravitational pull of the moon creates tidal bulges
At the location in the sea closest to the moon, water is lifted toward the moon because of the strength of gravitational attraction.
On the opposite side of the Earth, tidal bulge is produced away from the moon due to the fact that both the Earth and the Moon actually orbit their combined Center of Mass, a point about 1700km (26% of the radius) below the surface of the Earth, on the line joining the centers of the two bodies. This motion of the Earth generates a centrifugal force which flings the water away from the Center of Mass, and therefore on the side opposite the moon. For a good animation of this action (though not, unfortunately including the water movement), go to:

This may be hard to grasp initially; the phases of the moon are nothing more than the moon's normal daylight and night time periods passing by. On the moon, the length of one full day happens to be the time it takes for the moon to go through all of its phases exactly once-- one lunar cycle, or one synodic orbit of earth. Just as on earth, the surface of the moon during daylight periods is warmer than the part of the moon in darkness.
When the Moon and the Sun are on the same side of the Earth, or on opposite sides of the Earth (i.e., full moon or new moon), their effects are in the same direction, and the tides are stronger (spring tides). When they are at right angles, their effects will partially cancel, and the tides are weaker (neap tides - not sure about the spelling).
Tides are the rise and fall of ocean water. They are the combined effects of the gravitational forces exerted by the sun and moon on the rotation of the Earth.
Earth has a total of 4 tides a day 2 high tides and 2 low tides.
Tides on earth are mainly caused by the moon's gravity and earth's rotation.
None of the planets influence the tides on Earth. Only the moon, which is not a planet, has a major impact on tides on Earth.

what are the effects of tides The moon effects the tides making them either high or low tides.

High tides occur when the water is at its highest. Tides are caused by the combined effects of the rotation of the earth and the gravitational forces of the sun and the moon.
The moons gravitational pull on the earth lifts the Earth's oceans causing the ebb and flow of the tides.
Primarily, the effects of gravity between the earth and the moon.
Yes the earth has tides
The Moon effects the tides
The Gravity field between Earth and the Moon effects the waves and causes high tides and sometimes pushes the waves
That it has strong tidal effects on the earth due to it's gravitational force, the force between the earth and moon. So, you would see the tides go in and the tides go out!
The moon has several effects on the earth, e.g. tides, nighttime illumination, cultural impact (mythology, religion, etc.), and the moon also effects the earth's solar orbit and rotational speed.
