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.

How does a sea breeze blow?
Air over the land heats up causing an up-draft. Air over the sea is cooler and therefore is drawn over the land to replace the rising up-draft. Thus a sea breeze is created which flows from the sea to the land. The opposite can happen at night when the sea air is warmer and rises, creating a land breeze which flows from land to sea.
What cause sea breezes?
During the day, the land heats up-faster than the sea. Cooler sea air moves towards the land. This is called a sea breeze.
In general which is the cause of a sea breeze?
The usual cause of sea breeze is the difference in specific heat capacity between land and water Land heats and cools more quickly than water.
How and when does a land breeze form during your trip?
during night
Why and in which direction do land breezes flow?
It depends on the time of day. The ground heats up and cools more quickly than the sea. When the ground has warmed up more than the sea then air moves towards the land from the sea and heads upwards in a thermal and then downwards again out to sea. At night the opposite happens, as the ground cools the cold air flows down to the sea and again upwards in a thermal. Night sea breezes are usually less windy than in the day as the sun is not pumping energy into the systemRead more: What_direction_does_a_sea_breeze_blow
What is the definition for ocean shore zone?
The immediate land at the end of a sea. That land covered by low and high tides .
How are tides use?
Yes. It may be tides that created an intermediate zone between land and sea into which the first amphibians emerged. Just an idea.
Why tides are caused in the sea?
tides are caused due to various reasons such as: 1. gravitational pull from the sun as well as the moon 2. Coriolis effect on the earth
Where do tides occur?
in the sea
When the tides are especially weak the tides are called?
During spring tides, the sea comes in far up the beach, and goes out a long way.During neap tides, the sea doesn't come in as high up the beach, or goes out as far.
How does the moon affect your daily life?
well it moves the tides, so if your work involved the sea it would be affected.
How does sea level rise?
Sea levels rise with the tides.
How are low tides different from High tides?
In high tides areas, the water level is higher the average sea level. In areas between high tides, low tides from. In low tide areas, the water level is lower than average sea level.
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.
Did Hernando cortez travel by land or sea?
He was famous by travelling by sea (but probably he travelled by land as well during his life).
Why does the sea come in and out?
The moons gravity causes the sea to go in and out a.k.a the tide.
What is the cause of tides in sea?
the moons gravity
