Technically, yes. However, the tidal effects of moderate-sized bodies of water such as medium-sized lakes is vanishingly small. The Great Lakes have very small tidal effects, but rivers are far more influenced by the flow of the river.

This is because there isn't much water to displace to create a noticeable effect.

Oddly enough, the moon's tides also effect solid ground. The earths crust flexes through a range of about 1 foot over the course of a day.

Great Answer!! Actually, the moon and Earth pull on each other, so since Earth is much bigger, there is a lot of tidal force applied to the moon . . . enough so that over billions of years, the moon has slowed its spin rate to where just one 'side' of the moon faces Earth all the time.

The "seas" on the Moon are called Maria (Latin for Seas) because they were believed by ancient astronomers to be filled with water.

However, they are not seas, but large solidified pools of ancient basaltic lava. The lava flowed into ancient impact craters.

Most maria are found on the near side of the Moon.

No. Or to be more precise, it doesn't affect it in any unusual way; it has the same effect on the tides that the moon always has.

No but the opposite is true, the moon effects the ocean, it changes the tides

The combined gravitational effects of the Sun and Moon cause tides on the Earth's oceans. Since the Sun and Moon are always present, the effect is continuous.

It's gravitational force creates tides.
