Answer
A
occur as Earth rotates through areas where ocean water bulges
B
are higher when wind speed increases
C
form due to the gravitational pull of the moon and Sun
D
decrease at night and increase during the day
E
occur on a predictable schedule

Explanation

Tides form mainly because the Moon’s and Sun’s gravity pull on Earth’s oceans, creating water bulges. As Earth rotates, different places move through these bulges, producing high and low tides. Tides follow a predictable schedule; they do not simply rise when wind speed increases or decrease at night and increase during the day.
