Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Tides are primarily caused by the gravitational pull of the Moon on Earth's oceans. The rotation and revolution of the Moon and Sun, as well as Earth's rotation, contribute to the complexity of tidal patterns. If the Moon or Sun stopped moving in any way, it would not result in all places on Earth experiencing high tides simultaneously. Tidal patterns are influenced by the positions of the Moon and Sun relative to Earth, as well as the shape of the Earth's coastline and ocean floor.
