Tides are caused by the moon

The moon has a gravitational pull on Earth's oceans/rivers/bodies of water. This causes a buldge in the oceans: one on each side. The buldges remain almost in the same place, so as the Earth rotates, the buldges 'move' around the Earth.

Do moons gravity pull water to make tides?

Both the Moon's and the Sun's force of gravity "pull" on Earth's land and oceans to create tides ( high tides on both the 'near' side as well as the 'far' side of Earth. Of course, the tidal water moves a lot more than land does, so it is easier to notice. Also, Earth's and Sun's gravity make tides in the land on the Moon, too.
