Ocean tides are the result of the combined gravitational effects of the Sun and Moon upon Earth. If the distance between the Moon and Earth were to increase, how would the gravitational attraction of ocean tides be affected? decrease resulting in higher tides increase resulting in higher tides decrease resulting in lower tides increase resulting in lower tides
