Answer: They result from the earth's gravitational pull from the moon and, to a lesser extent, the sun.

Step-by-step explanation:

They result from the earth's gravitational pull from the moon and, to a lesser extent, the sun. A shore experiences a high tide when the wave's highest point, or the crest, reaches it. A coast experiences a low tide when the trough, or lowest point, approaches it.
