Gravity is one major force that creates tides. Our sun is 27 million times larger than our moon. Based on its mass, the sun’s gravitational attraction to the Earth is more than 177 times greater than that of the moon to the Earth.

Explanation:  

High and low tides are caused by the Moon.

The Moon's gravitational pull induces something called the tidal force.

The tidal force causes Earth—and its water—to bulge out on its nearest and furthest sides from the Moon.

The Moon is responsible for high and low tides.

How have the nations systems of mountains and waterways influenced the development of the united states
Andreyy89

The waterways and mountains of the United States, much like the rest of the world, have had a significant impact on where people settled and how towns and cities interacted with one another. Large mountain ranges served as natural barriers between groups, causing distinct regional shared cultures to develop due to the relative isolation and shared geography that mountain ranges create. The opposite is true for rivers, which connected communities through ease of travel, trade, and shared access to water and other natural resources.
