It doesn't. It's just that we notice the effect more on water than we do on land, because
water has more "give", and it's pretty hard for land to flow from one place to another.

What is the moons relationship with the sea?
The moon, being so close to us, has a gravitational pull on the oceans. So without the moon, the oceans may have risen up and killed us all
What substance on earth does the gravity of the moon have the greatest to pull on?
Water in the oceans it is what gives us our tides.
What causes high and low tides in earths oceans?
The rotation of the Earth and the gravitational pull of the Moon and the Sun.
Why is the moon responsible for predicting tidal movements in the earths oceans?
The moon doesn't predict anything, but scientists do and the gravitational pull of the moon , sun, and the earth determines tidal movements.
Why is the moon's pull more noticeable in liquids than in solids?
Why is the moon's pull more noticeable in liquids than in solids?
What does the moon have to do with your oceans?
Gravitational pull.
Why does the moon have more gravitational pull on the Earths oceans than the moon if the sun is so massive?
It is because the moon is much closer to the earth. Gravitational pull decreases in proportion to the square of the distance.
What happens to earth's oceans when the moon pulls on earth?
The oceans shift slightly with the moon's pull, which causes a phenomenon known as tides.
What causes the moon to pull on the earths oceans making an oval shape?
The gravity of the moon
What is the rising she falling off the ocean surface caused by the moon pull off gravity?
Gravity and the pull of the moon are the same thing. The pull of the moon is caused by the moons' gravity.
What are affecting the ocean?
The oceans are being affected by the gravitational pull of the moon.
What causes a tide to occur?
The gravitational pull of the moon on the Earth's oceans.
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.
Why do you have tides on earth?
They are caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun on the water in the oceans.
What happens to the pull of gravity when the sun and moon at right angles?
The Gravitational pull on the oceans is Partially canceled out by the suns Gravitational pull.
What happened to the pull of gravity when the moon and sun are at right angles?
The Gravitational pull on the oceans is Partially canceled out by the suns Gravitational pull.
What are the factors that brought about the occurrence of tides on earth?
The moons gravitational pull causes tides.
