The interaction of the Moon, the Sun, and Earth.
Gravity from the Moon (and to a lesser extent the Sun), together with the Earth–Moon system's rotation, produces tidal bulges in Earth's oceans causing high and low tides. Wind, temperature differences, and mixing affect currents and local water movement but do not produce the global tidal pattern.
