The Moon's gravitational pullis the main CAUSE of the tides on Earth.
(The Sun has a similar, smaller effect.)
The Earth's daily rotation means the water "bulges" caused by the Moon's gravity move around the planet, giving us what we know as the tides.

∙ 15y agoIt wouldn't, but the earth would give the moon tides. See, it's not the water itself, it's the metal and mineral deposits. Yes. This is the sort of stuff I research in my spare time.

∙ 12y agoMoon(along with the sun) has a gravitational effect on the earth, and due to this gravitational power of attraction of these 2 heavenly bodies on earth, the water bodies or a part of the water bodies which faces the moon & the sun gets pulled up towards the sun and moon. But it doesn't mean that only some part of the water suddenly rises and other parts remain in the proper level.A large area of water body gradually gets attracted towards sun and moon.

∙ 6y agoThe tides would be far more extreme and far more frequent.
This was indeed the case billions of years ago when the moon first formed and was sol close that it probably orbited the earth every 2 or 3 days! It has been slowly getting farther from earth and will someday escape to orbit the sun on its own separate from earth.

What does the gravitational effect on the moon got to do with the rise and fall of the sea?
It is not the gravitional effect ON the moon, but the gravitional effect OF the moon. The moon pulls on the earth, just as the earth pulls on the moon. The pull of the moon causes water to be drawn towards the moon, and forms a "bump" in the level of water. As the earth rotates below the water, the raised part of the water has the effect of making the water get deeper, then shallower. Those are the tides.
Does the moon also pull on earth?
Yes. The effect of this is seen on tidal water. Tidal water is a "wave" following the moon around the earth as the moon moves.
What is the effect on water when the sun moon and earth are in line?

How does the earths orbit affect the moon?
The moon has more effect on the earth than the earth does to the moon. When the moon orbits earth it creates ocean tides which effect sea life. It even may be responsible for the earth developing its thin crust after orbiting close to earth and raising the inner water level a kilometer causing sever melting to the then newborn planet.
What dose the moon do for the earth?
It reflects the light from the sun to the Earth, and generates tidal forces that effect large bodies of water.

What effect of the earth-moon system causes the water bulge on the side of the earth farthest from the moon?
The moon's gravity attracts the water.

How does the moon afect the waters of the earth?
The most basic effect is the changing of the tide level due to the pull of the gravity of the moon.
How does the spinning of the earth effect earth's water?
It actually doesnt much. The main contributing factor to the movement of the water and tides is the moon. Every day= 1 revolution around earth for the moon, so the tides go with the moon. So actaully, the rotation of the earth really doesnt effect it much.
Does Earth cause tides on the moon?
Earth also affect the Moon, but since there was no oceans or surface water on the moon, the effect is not noticeable in any visible way.
How does the moon effect high tide?
The earth spins on its axis. The ocean water maintains its equal level through the gravitational force and the centrifugal forces together. But the moon's gravitational force disrupts and accelerates the water pulling it towards the moon. These areas which are pulled, experience high tide while the rest of the area has a low tide.
Does Earth also causes tides on the Moon?
Earth also affect the Moon, but since there was no oceans or surface water on the moon, the effect is not noticeable in any visible way.
How does the moon effect the ocean tide?
the sun has a much smaller effect than the moon. the moon pulls anything toward it wherever it is over earth, which is usually ocean due to the fact that earth is almost all water, so the moon pulls ocean water toward it, causing rougher seas
