Which of the following best describes the origin of ocean tides on Earth?
A) Tides are caused by the difference in the force of gravity exerted by the Moon across the sphere of the earth. B) The Moon's gravity pulls harder on water than on land, because water is less dense than rock. C) Tides are caused by the 23 1/2° tilt of the earth's rotational axis to the ecliptic plane.
