  2. What Causes Tides? • Tides are the daily rise and fall of Earth’s waters on its coastlines • Gravity and tides • Tides are caused by the interaction of Earth, the moon, and the sun • The daily tide cycle • The monthly tide cycle (spring & neap tide) • Changes in the positions of Earth, the moon, and the sun affect the heights of the tides during a month • Tide tables
