5. The celestial body that, along with the Sun, plays a key role in the formation of tides.

8. The outgoing phase of the tide, when water flows away from the shore.
9. The incoming phase of the tide, when water flows toward the shore.
10. The force that attracts objects toward one another, particularly responsible for the tidal effects caused by the Moon and Sun's gravitational pull.

3. A tidal pattern with only one high tide and one low tide each day.
4. The point in the Moon’s orbit when it is farthest from Earth, affecting tidal ranges.
5. A tidal pattern with two high tides and two low tides each day, but the heights of the tides vary.
7. The point in the Moon’s orbit when it is closest to Earth, resulting in higher tides.
11. The vertical distance between the highest and lowest points of a tide.
