Wave height is affected by wind speed, wind duration (or how long the wind blows), and fetch, which is the distance over water that the wind blows in a single direction. If wind speed is slow, only small waves result, regardless of wind duration or fetch

A good teacher is one who can bring himself down to a student level

Basically the attraction of the moon over earth result in waves, and the prime factor of the amplitude or height of the waves lies in the closest distance of approach of the moon towards earth,as nearer the approach more the strenth of the field ans thus its consequences
