True. The moon's gravity is the primary force that causes tides on Earth. The gravitational pull of the moon affects the water in the oceans, causing it to bulge out in the direction of the moon, which results in high tides. There is also a corresponding high tide on the opposite side of the Earth due to the centrifugal force created by the Earth-moon system's rotation. The sun also affects tides, but to a lesser extent than the moon.
