Tide (the daily cycle of high and low water) has been known for thousands of years. The widely accepted theory for this movement is the attractive mechanism, that’s to say, the Moon’s gravitational attraction yields a pair of water bulges on the Earth's surface, an Earthly site would pass through these bugles and undergo alternation of high and low water as the Earth spins. However, an in-depth investigation of tide-gauge data shows these bulges of water nonexistent. This absence suggests that tide cannot be explained by the attractive mechanism. Here we propose, the Earth’s rotations about the centre of mass of the Earth-Moon system and around the Sun create centrifugal effects to stretch solid Earth; the deformed Earth generates oscillation for ocean basin as the Earth rotates, forming water movement between all the parts of the basin and further the rise and fall of water level around the globe. A modelling test shows that the RMS (Root Mean Square) deviation of amplitude calculated against observation for deep ocean (34 sites) and shelf-coastal regions (42 sites) are approximately 6.16 and 10.59 cm.
