No. The Moon doesn't rotate with respect to Earth; the same side of the Moon always faces the Earth. So even if there were oceans with liquid water, there wouldn't be rising and falling tides as we have here.

How is the moon useful?
Without the moon we would have no tides and many of the currents that keep the oceans working the way they do would not exist.
How does the moon and the sun effect the earths oceans?
The gravitational forces of the Sun and Moon, effect the earths oceans by forming tides.
What is the pull of gravity between earth and the moon was much less how would this affect the oceans?
This causes tides on Earth.
Does the suns gravity effect the oceans?
Yes! Just like the Moon, the Sun participates in the creation of tides. The Sun's role in tides is less than that of the Moon, though.
Causes of tides?
Tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the Moon. Full moons are notorious for causing large waves and Tsunamis that pull in the direction of the moon.
Why earths oceans have tides?
If we did not have the moon, there would be no waves.
What does the moon create in our oceans?
tides

The earth's moon helps move the oceans tides.
What affects the oceans tides on earth?
the moon.
What controls ocean tides?
the moon is the main factor behind the oceans tides.
What force causes tides?
The gravitational pull of the Moon and the Sun on the oceans produce tides.
Are tides the differences in the amount of salt?
No. Tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the moon on the oceans.
How do the moon and earth interact?
The moon stabilizes the tilt of the earth. It also pulls on the oceans of the earth, which creates tides. If there were no tides, oceans on earth would stagnate, and ocean life and plants would die. Ocean plants are responsible for a large percentage of oxygen production on earth.
What causes tides to be low?
When the moon is farther from the earth. Tides become low because there is less pull on the oceans from the moon.
How does the moon affect the earth's oceans?
The moons gravitational pull is what causes tides.
What works together to form tides?
The moon and the earth's oceans.
