The surface of the earth facing the moon
experiences maximum gravitational force of
the moon, while it will be minimum at the
opposite side of the earth. Consequently, the
water on the earth's surface facing the moon
is attracted and pulled up and thus, the high
tide occurs. High tide is also formed at the
opposite side of the earth simultaneously,
because of the reactionary (centrifugal) force
of the gravitational (centripetal) force of the
moon causing outward bulge of the water

Answer:
The Moon's gravitational pull generates something called the tidal force. The tidal force causes Earth—and its water—to bulge out on the side closest to the Moon and the side farthest from the Moon. These bulges of water are high tides. High tide (left) and low tide (right) in the Bay of Fundy in Canada.

Answer:
Gravity and inertia act in opposition on the Earth's oceans, creating tidal bulges on opposite sites of the planet. On the “near” side of the Earth (the side facing the moon), the gravitational force of the moon pulls the ocean's waters toward it, creating one bulge.
