The moon, as a body of large mass, exerts a pull on the Earth as it orbits it. Earth as well exerts a pull on the moon. However the Moon is a solid body, while the Earth has a mostly-water surface, and a magma undersurface.
As the Moon orbits the Earth and pulls at it, it causes the ocean, directly above it, and also on the exact opposite side of the Earth to swell upwards toward the Moon. This pulling upwards, causes low tides on shorelines. When the Moon has moved sufficiently along its path, the ocean stress releases and we get high tides.
The Moon is also suspected of being a causative agent in earthquakes, since merely a small pull can be enough to cause the built-up tectonic stress to suddenly release.
What else can I help you with?
Does the moon move If yes explain?
the moon flys away from the earth
Is global warming on Earth going to affect the Moon?
Earth's atmosphere has no effect on the moon.
What effect does the Moon's and earth's orbit have on the moon phases and the way we see them?
The effect of the moon is werewolfs come out and howl
Was the moon attached to earth?
Perhaps. There are many myths surrounding the moon and Earth that explain the Earth's tilt and its imperfect shape.
Does Earth produce a tidal effect on the Moon?
Yes. Think in terms of Newton's second law. Earth does produce a tidal effect on the Moon.
How does the moon affect things on earth?
the moon effect's the earth in ways of it's gravitational pull
Explain what happens as the moon orbits around the earth?
every year the moon will go back an inch from the earth.
Why does higher mass give the moon uneven gravity?
The moon has uneven gravity because of the pull of the earth. Imagine the moon's effect on the earth and the tides of the ocean. The earth has a much greater effect on the moon because it is several times larger.
What main effect does the moon have on earth?
The tides.
What is the effect of the moon on the earth like?
food
What is the effect of the moon between earth and the sun?
the effect is the solar eclipse
Does moon have effect on Earth's rotation?
yes; without the moon earth's rotation would be wobbly and disorganized.
