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.

Slave labour was the driving might behind the maturation of the sugar economy in Brazil, and sugar was the key export of the colony from 1600-1650. 
Gold and diamond deposits were uncovered in Brazil in 1690, which triggered an expansion in the importation of African slaves to power this newly profitable market. Transportation systems were advanced for the mining infrastructure, and population improved from immigrants seeking to take part in gold and diamond mining.
