As Earth rotates, the Moon's gravity causes the oceans to seem to rise and fall. (The Sun also does this, but not as much.) There is a little bit of friction between the tides and the turning Earth, causing the rotation to slow down just a little. As Earth slows, it lets the Moon creep away.

Answer:

The correct answer would be Tides in the ocean.

Explanation:

Rotation and revolution of the moon cause the generation of a tidal force. The combination of gravitational force in between the moon, the earth, and the sun and the revolution and rotation of the earth-moon and Earth-sun system.

This leads to rising ocean level which is called high tide. The moon has a huge effect on ocean level bulge of the tides than the Sun.

Thus, the correct answer is Tides in the ocean.
