The axis of the moon'sorbit around the earth makes an angle of about 7 degrrees with the earth's polar axis,Therefor, there are times when the moon is not visible from the earth's poles for more than a month..
The moon, like the sun, moves from the northern to the southern hemisphere but instead of doing so every six months, the moon moves from hemisphere to hemisphere every two weeks. Whenever the moon's zenith is within the northern hemisphere, it is visible from the north pole (and invisible from the south pole) and whenever the moon's zenith is south of the equator, it cannot be seen from the north pole. The moment when the moon crosses the equator every two weeks is when the moon rises (or sets) at the North Pole.

What is created when the moon revolves around the earth?
The moon creates tidal friction when it revolves around the earth.This is what makes the ocean rise and fall with tides. The oceans directly below the earth will be pulled upwards slightly (like a bulge) by the gravitational forces of the moon. On the other side of the earth (opposite from the moon) the oceans "sink" accordingly.
Is there a correlation between high tide and moon rise?
yes there is a correlation between high tide and moon rise because the higher the moon gets in the sky the higher the tide will be.
Why does the moon rise and set?
Because of the Earth's rotation.
What forces the moon to rise?
The moon is not actually forced to rise, but appears to be rising because of the orbit of the moon and the rotation of the earth. The movement of the planets and the moon makes them appear to rise and set.

Why do the sun and moon rise?
The Earth's rotation causes the sun and moon to 'rise' and 'set. The rotation also causes the sun and moon to move across the sky from east to west, but really this is an illusion we see on out planet.
When you watch the sun rise and set you actually see earth revolution around the moon?
You see Earth's revolution around the sun.. the moon revolves around the Earth, not the other way around.
