The gravity of the moon pulls the water of the earth's oceans toward the moon, on both sides of the earth at the same time. High tide is when the ocean facing closest to the moon receives the most gravitational pull, and the other side of the earth, receiving the least gravity has low tide from the lowest gravitational pull. Other types of tide come from when the moon and the sun are both in front of the earth, and their is a larger tide then normal, or when the sun and the moon are on opposite sides of the earth, and the opposing gravitational pulls cause lower than usual tidal pulls.

Where are seas on the moon?
There are no seas on the moon. The moon's surface is mostly covered by craters, mountains, and plains, but no bodies of water like seas or oceans. The dark areas on the moon that look smooth from Earth are actually large plains of solidified lava called maria.
Does the moon have any oceans?
The moon does not have oceans like Earth. However, there are large basins on the moon that were formed by ancient volcanic activity and impacts, which are now filled with solidified lava called mare. These basins give the moon its characteristic dark patches that can be seen from Earth.
Which landforms are found on Earth but not on the moon?
Mountains, canyons, and plateaus are landforms found on Earth but not on the moon due to the lack of tectonic activity and erosion processes. Additionally, bodies of water such as oceans, seas, lakes, and rivers are also unique to Earth's surface.
Why is it called seas if there is no water on the moon?
The term "seas" in relation to the Moon refers to the dark, flat plains on its surface, not actual bodies of water. These plains were once thought to be bodies of water, hence the name "seas" was given to them.
How moon affect the oceans?
The moon's gravity pulls on the Earth's oceans, creating tides. When the moon is at different positions relative to the Earth, it causes different tide patterns such as high tides and low tides. This gravitational force from the moon is the main factor that influences the ocean tides.
Does the moon have seas and oceans?
no
How does depth affect oceans and seas?
im not sure
Does fertilizers affect the salt levels?
oceans and seas
How do currents form in the oceans and seas?
Gravity from the Earth's proximity to the moon.
Why does the moon have a greater affect on tides then the sun does?
Though the Moon is much smaller than the Sun, it is closer to Earth than the Sun. So exerts a greater gravitation effect on Earth's oceans and seas.
Where are seas on the moon?
There are no seas on the moon. The moon's surface is mostly covered by craters, mountains, and plains, but no bodies of water like seas or oceans. The dark areas on the moon that look smooth from Earth are actually large plains of solidified lava called maria.
Do other oceans have oceans?
No, there are 7 oceans and seas.
Why are oceans and seas homogeneous?
Oceans and seas are not perfectly homogeneous.
What is the different between sea and ocean?
Size between the two bodies of waters differs much. Oceans are much larger compared to the seas. Seas, are much more situated near to areas of land. The oceans are much deeper than the seas. The life forms in oceans are much diverse in comparison to the seas. Climatic changes and tropical cyclones occur mostly in oceans. on the other hand, sea have minor disturbances that can affect the chain of complex cycles in the earth itself.
Does the moon have any oceans?
The moon does not have oceans like Earth. However, there are large basins on the moon that were formed by ancient volcanic activity and impacts, which are now filled with solidified lava called mare. These basins give the moon its characteristic dark patches that can be seen from Earth.
What seas rivers and oceans touch Jamaica?

How does water move from land to oceans and seas?
it evaporates and then it condensate after that it rains in the oceans and seas.
