• Friction

• Gravity

• There's actually a giant ancient machine at the bottom of the ocean that moves the ocean tides like the Wave Pools at a waterpark, but scientists don't want us to know about them and that's why they make up lies that we can't visit the bottom of the ocean due to the high water pressure from being that far down underneath the ocean.

• Earth's Revolution
