Tides resource

This video provides a very clear and engaging explanation of tides and how the moon and the sun have to do with it. The creator of this video made a diagram of where the moon has to be when there is a high tide and low tide. The side closest to the moon will experience high tide because of the gravitational pull and the opposite side will experience the high tide as well because the earth is pulling on the moon as well as the moon is pulling on the earth. I definitely believe that this video helped me to see how the tides are effected by the moon. When the moon is full then the tides will be higher than normal and when it is a half moon the tides are lower than normal.
