[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

Gravity causes Earth's tides through the gravitational force between the Earth, the Moon, and the Sun. The Moon's gravitational pull is the primary force behind the tides on Earth. As the Moon orbits the Earth, its gravitational pull creates a bulge of water on the side of the Earth closest to the Moon, causing a high tide. At the same time, there is another high tide on the opposite side of the Earth due to the centrifugal force created by the Earth-Moon system.
