Tidal effects become particularly pronounced near small bodies of high mass, such as neutron stars or black holes, where they are responsible for the " spaghettification " of infalling matter. Tidal forces create the oceanic tide of Earth 's oceans, where the attracting bodies are the Moon and, to a lesser extent, the Sun. Tidal forces are also responsible for tidal locking, tidal acceleration, and tidal heating. Tides may also induce seismicity.
