Which of the following helps to generate, or control, tides? The sun's energy heating and cooling the water Wave energy fluctuating and causing the wate to rise and fall The gravitational pull of the moon The force of the wind pulling the water

The gravitational pull of the moon helps to generate, or control, tides. The moon's gravity exerts a pulling force on Earth's oceans, causing the water to bulge out in the direction of the moon. This results in high tides. Additionally, the sun's gravitational pull also affects tides, but to a lesser extent compared to the moon.
