      Hiya!

      the moon doesn’t actually make waves, that’s the wind! Try to make your own waves if you blow across the surface of a hot cup of tea! The stronger the wind the the higher the waves!
      The moon causes the tides because of the gravitational pull it has on our planet! – Some tides can be up to 18m high!
