The Effect of Centrifugal Force. It is this little known aspect of the moon's orbital motion which is responsible for one of the two force components creating the tides. As the earth and moon whirl around this common center-of-mass, the centrifugal force produced is always directed away from the center of revolution.

Ocean tides are caused mainly by gravitational force of the Moon. You can imagine that the mass closer to the Moon is attracted with more force, so the water of the ocean tends to “bulge” just under the Moon. As the Earth rotates, the “bulge” travels relatively to the shores, trying to stay “under the Moon”.
