no they dont because the water is constantly moving Aren't the oceans in contant motion too?
Actually, YES they do. All bodies of water are affected by the gravity of the moon - http://home.hiwaay.net/~krcool/Astro/moon/moontides/
They do, but not as high as the oceans, because they are much smaller. Biggest are in Lake Superior because of it's size, and Lake Erie because it is shallow. But the tides are only about 1 - 5 cm.... and that is very difficult to measure against waves and air pressure differences from one part of the lake to the next which also effects water level, among other things. So although they have tides, the tides are so small that you won't notice a difference unless you have very sophisticated instuments and information to measure them.

What else can I help you with?
Where can I find a map that shows the great lakes?
There are a great many places in the world where you can find a map of the Great Lakes. You can find these maps at your local library for example.
What rivers are in the northeast region?
they are the great lake and something else i do not know
Do high tides occur less often than low tides as often as low tides or more often than low tides?
same
What kind of voters tend to cluster on the U.S. coasts and around the Great Lakes?
Answer this question… Democratic
Can high tides and low tides be predicted?
maybe it depands on the weather
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.
Do tides occur in lakes?
Most lakes are too small for the effect to be great or, if any at all. Tides are not always caused by the gravitational pull pf the moon and have no effect on small bodies of water, such as lakes. Even the Great Lakes tides are less than 5 centimeters in height
How are lakes affected by tides?
Lakes are not affected by tides because tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun on the Earth's oceans, not on inland bodies of water like lakes.
Do lakes experience tides, and if so, what factors contribute to the presence of tides in lakes?
No, lakes do not experience tides like oceans do. Tides are mainly caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and sun on Earth's oceans. Since lakes are smaller and more enclosed bodies of water, they are not significantly affected by these gravitational forces, resulting in the absence of tides in lakes.
How do tides affect lakes?
Tides do not directly affect lakes because tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and sun on the Earth's oceans. Lakes are not large enough to experience significant tidal effects.
Do small lakes have tides, and if so, how are they affected by them?
Small lakes do not have tides because tides are primarily caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and sun on large bodies of water like oceans. Therefore, small lakes are not affected by tides in the same way that oceans are.
Do lakes have tides, and if so, how do they compare to ocean tides?
No, lakes do not have tides like oceans do. Tides in oceans are mainly caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and sun, which create the rise and fall of water levels. Lakes, being smaller bodies of water, are not affected by these gravitational forces in the same way, so they do not experience tides.

Does Lake Superior have strong waves?
Sometimes. Especially when it is stormy , and after the Spring melt when all the inland waters are at their highest. Lakes as large as the Great Lakes can also be subject to tides and riptides.

No, lakes do not have tides like oceans do. Tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and sun on the Earth's oceans, but lakes are not affected in the same way.
