Tides in the ocean can cause variations in surface elevation of 50 feet or more
between high tide and low tide. Also, being liquid, the sea flows from one place
to another.
Tides on land seldom exceed 6 inches in amplitude, and the land doesn't flow.

What terms means the constant movement of the earths water from oceans to air to land and back to oceans?
Water cycle is the term for the constant movement of the earth's water from oceans to air to land and back to oceans
Why don't the Great Lakes have tides?
The Great Lakes do not have tides because they are not connected to the ocean. Tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun on the Earth's oceans, but the Great Lakes are freshwater bodies surrounded by land, so they do not experience the same tidal forces as the oceans.
What is a land tide?
A land tide refers to the rising and falling of the earth's surface due to the gravitational pull of the moon and sun. This phenomenon is similar to ocean tides but occurs on land, causing the ground to move up and down cyclically. Land tides are more subtle and less noticeable compared to ocean tides.
What term means the constant movement of the earths water from oceans to air to land and back to ocean?
Water cycle is the term for the constant movement of the earth's water from oceans to air to land and back to oceans
How much of earths is covered by water?
Roughly 75% of Earths Surface is covered by water. (including the Oceans, lakes and land Ice).
Are there land tides as well as sea tides?
Tides are caused by the gravitational effect of (mainly) the moon. The position of the moon relative to a particular point on Earth determines the tide. The most noticeable effect is on the sea but everything (including the land) is affected to some degree. So short answer - Yes.
Are the great lakes affected by the moon?
All bodies of water, and even land are affected by the Moon's force of gravity. You only notice it in water, because its tides move far more than the barely noticeable tides on land. Your answer is, "Yes".
What are the 6 of the smaller systems that make up earths global system?
Atmosphere, Land, ice, the oceans, and life!
Do moons gravity pull water to make tides?
Both the Moon's and the Sun's force of gravity "pull" on Earth's land and oceans to create tides ( high tides on both the 'near' side as well as the 'far' side of Earth. Of course, the tidal water moves a lot more than land does, so it is easier to notice. Also, Earth's and Sun's gravity make tides in the land on the Moon, too.
How do tides destroy land?
Tides are caused by the moon The moon has a gravitational pull on Earth's oceans/rivers/bodies of water. This causes a buldge in the oceans: one on each side. The buldges remain almost in the same place, so as the Earth rotates, the buldges 'move' around the Earth.
Are oceans glaciers and rivers are part of Earths?
Yes Oceans,Glaciers,Lakes, and Rivers are part of Earth;s hemisphere because the hemisphere involve land, water and sky. Therefor they are part of Earth's hemisphere.
