Question

1. the moon pulls water on the earth creating high tides, where do they occur?

Explanation:

Tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the Moon (and the Sun) on Earth's oceans. The high tides occur at two locations on Earth simultaneously: one is directly facing the Moon (due to the Moon's gravitational pull pulling the water towards it) and the other is on the opposite side of the Earth from the Moon. This is because as the Earth is pulled towards the Moon, the water on the far side is "left behind" in a sense, creating a bulge (high tide) there as well. So high tides occur at the location directly under the Moon and at the location diametrically opposite to the Moon on Earth's surface.

Answer:

High tides occur at the location on Earth directly facing the Moon and at the location on Earth that is diametrically opposite to the Moon (the side of Earth farthest from the Moon).
