Gravity is caused by mass, it is unrelated to rotation.

Over time the moon's gravity will drastically alter earth's?
Over time the moon's gravity will drastically alter the Earth's rate of rotation.
What are the tides on earth mainly caused by?
Tides on earth are mainly caused by the moon's gravity and earth's rotation.
What causes ocean tides to reach higher up on a shore at certain times of day than at others?
The moon's gravity and Earth's rotation

The moon's gravity and Earth's rotation
Is the moon weightless?
The moon is weightless, because the centrifical force of its rotation is counter acting on gravity. If both forces are exactly the same, they cancel out each other. The moon would have weight if it was close enough to fall, but otherwise no.
What Phases of the moon are produced by?
The rotation of the earth.
What way does the moon spin clockwise or anticlockwise?
Neither , it's rotation is static .
Over time the moon's gravity will drastically alter earth's?
Over time the moon's gravity will drastically alter the Earth's rate of rotation.
What are Tides on Earth are causes by?
Tides on earth are mainly caused by the moon's gravity and earth's rotation.
Why are there high and low tides every twelve hours?
because of the sun,moon,gravity and the rotation
What are the tides on earth mainly caused by?
Tides on earth are mainly caused by the moon's gravity and earth's rotation.
Why is there gravity on the moon when the orbit is static?
There is gravity surrounding every speck of mass in the universe. You don't evenneed to be near it. The forces of attraction can be calculated between the lint inyour pocket and a grain of sand on a beach on a planet bound to a star on the farside of a galaxy that's 10 billion light years away. The moon "has gravity" becauseit has mass.I'm not aware of what's meant by a "static orbit", but I do know that it has no effecton the presence or magnitude of the gravitational forces.

The moon's gravity and Earth's rotation
Does the moon revolve because of gravitational forces?
Yes, the moon revolves about (orbits) the earth because of gravitational forces. However it also rotates (turns/spins) about its axis of rotation - this movement involves gravitational forces as well. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Gravity is involved in both the revolution and the rotation of the moon. For more on the rotation (spin) of the moon, see the link below.
What are ocean currents made by?
Earth's Rotation (Coreolis Effect (spelling?)), Heat from the sun, gravity from the sun and moon.
Is the force of the suns gravity on the moon the same as the suns gravity on earth?
Not particularly. The Earth's rotation around the Solar System is controlled by the Sun but the Moon is mostly controlled by the Earth, so the Sun really has more of an influence on the Earth than the Moon.
How is the Moon's rotation different from Earth's?
The moon's rotation is not as fast as the Earth's rotation.
