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 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 substance on earth does the gravity of the moon have the greatest to pull on?

The substance on Earth that experiences the greatest gravitational pull from the moon is the oceans. The moon's gravitational pull causes the tides as it attracts the water on Earth's surface towards it.


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.


Why is the moon's pull more noticeable in liquids than in solids?

The moon's pull creates tides by exerting a gravitational force on Earth's oceans, causing them to bulge outward. Liquids, like water, can freely flow and respond to this force by moving in response to the tidal pull. In contrast, solids are more rigid and resistant to deformation, so the effects of the moon's pull are less noticeable in them.


What causes a tide to occur?

The gravitational pull of the moon on the Earth's oceans.


What are affecting the ocean?

The oceans are being affected by the gravitational pull of the moon.


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 does the moon create a bulge in the Earth's oceans?

The moon's gravitational pull causes a bulge in the Earth's oceans by attracting water towards it, creating high tides.


Why are tides affected?

Tides are primarily affected by the gravitational force of the moon and the sun acting on Earth's oceans. As the moon orbits the Earth, it creates a gravitational pull that causes the water in the oceans to bulge towards it, creating high tides. When the moon is in a position where its gravitational force is perpendicular to that of the sun, it results in more extreme tides known as spring tides.
