The moon and the tides can also create waves. Take a look at the steps below!
1.) The moon's gravity attracts Earth, the water and the land.
2.) The water is attracted to the moon more so than the land, and this creates a bulge of water on either side of the Earth.
3.)The tides are basically just water moving as the moon moves and attracts water in different places. The low tide replaces the high tides. This is a lot of moving water...
4.) And the movement of water can create a wave!
5.) Most of the time, these waves are larger than other waves, but tidal waves are not tsunamis. They are just waves that have been created by tides!
