Question
which event causes tides? the blowing of the wind the movement of warm and cool water the interaction of the moon, the sun, and earth the mixing of surface water and deep ocean water
Tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the Moon and the Sun on Earth's oceans. The interaction between these three celestial bodies (moon, Sun, Earth) leads to the rise and fall of sea levels (tides). Wind causes waves, movement of warm - cool water is related to ocean currents like thermohaline circulation, and mixing of surface and deep - ocean water is part of oceanic mixing processes, none of which are the cause of tides.
