Tides are periodic rises and falls of large bodies of water. Tides are caused by the gravitational interaction between the Earth and the Moon. The gravitational attraction of the moon causes the oceans to bulge out in the direction of the moon.

HII FRIEND.
GOOD MORNING.
Your Ans
Tides are formed by a combination of the gravity pull of the moon and to a lesser extend the sun. The oceans on earth bulge towards the moon because this is where gravity is the strongest.
On the opposite side of the Earth, the gravitational attraction of the moon is less. Inertia exceeds the gravitational force, and the water tries to move away from the Earth which also forms a bulge on the opposing side.
I Hope It Help You.
