Question

what produces the ocean tides?​

Answer 1

Answer:

the water the water molecules produces ocean tides or waves and air is also involved in it

Answer 2

Answer:

Gravity is one major force that creates tides. In 1687, Sir Isaac Newton explained that ocean tides result from the gravitational attraction of the sun and moon on the oceans of the earth.

Tidal forces are based on the gravitational attractive force. With regard to tidal forces on the Earth, the distance between two objects usually is more critical than their masses. Tidal generating forces vary inversely as the cube of the distance from the tide generating object. Gravitational attractive forces only vary inversely to the square of the distance between the objects. The effect of distance on tidal forces is seen in the relationship between the sun, the moon, and the Earth’s waters.
