Where is the moon when you are in a location experiencing a low tide?
A. directly over head at your location
B. on the opposite side of the Earth from you
C. halfway between you and the opposite side of the earth
D. over the north pole or south pole

The gravity of the sun and moon pull on the water of the oceans of the earth hence causing a bulge of these waters at the point on earth where the moon is above. The region where the moon is above, and the opposite side on the earth, will therefore experience high tides while the places at right angles (on the surface of the earth in relation to the moon position) will experience low tides.
