      Question

      Which force is responsible for the formation of ocean

      tides?  
      A Magnetic force Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Gravitational force Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Electromagnetic force Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Frictional force Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      The gravitational force of the Moon and the Sun causes the ocean tides.   The Moon’s gravity pulls water towards it, creating a high tide on the side of the Earth facing the Moon.   A similar effect happens on the opposite side of the Earth, due to the centrifugal force caused by the Earth-Moon system's rotation.
