Original Note:
While the moon does influence tides, this depiction is inaccurate. Gravity causes the Earth (and its water) to bulge on the sides closest and farthest from the moon. Tides occur as the Earth rotates different regions through the bulge. A better depiction looks like this https://scijinks.gov/tides/tides1.gif
