As the moon revolves around the Earth, its gravity causes water levels to bulge. The area of the Earth that has this bulge experiences high tide

Huge waves which happen three to four times a year

The ocean when large portions of it freeze during winter

As the moon rotates, it causes forces which draw the ocean toward it. The more the moon rotates, the greater the tides.

When the high tide is at hit highest and low tide is at its lowest. This occurs during the full moon and new moon (or lunar and solar eclipses) due to the moon and the sun's gravity pulling together

A less than average high and low tide occurring at the first and last quarters of the moon . The sun is pulling in one direction and the moon is pulling in the opposite direction

The tide that typically happens during the Spring and Fall Equinoxes. It is known as being an above average tide
