Very, very slightly, over a long, long period of time (hundreds of thousands to millions of years) - yes, it does.

What is the pull of the moon on earths tidal bulge causing?
The pull of the Moon - and, to a lesser degree, of the Sun - causes "tidal bulges". These bulges of water cause the high tides on Earth. The Moon's gravitational pull on the bulge of water nearest to the Moon, causes the Earth's rotation to very gradually slow down, due to frictional forces. Finally, (because of the need to conserve "angular momentum") it causes the Moon to gradually move away from Earth.

List of tidal power plants in India?
India begins construction in 2012 on a 50 MW tidal farm in the Gulf of Kutch.
What are some examples to show how tides can alter the rotation and revolution of celestial bodies?
Most of the large moons in our solar system rotate so that they always show the same side to the planet. This is caused by "tidal forces". The tides have slowed the moons' rotations down until their rotation periods equal their orbital periods. The moons also slow down the planets; our planet is rotating slower and slower. Once again, this affects the rotation. However, since angular momentum MUST be conserved, the Moon also gets farther and farther from our planet, thus affecting its revolution around Earth.

Why was Alfred wegeners idea that tidal forces might cause continental drift refuted as impossible?
It would stop earth's rotation. Showed that the tidal forces needed to move continents would stop earths rotation.
Is tidal friction slowing down earth?
Tidal friction caused by Earth's stretching from the Moon's gravity is gradually slowing down the rotation of Earth.
The is caused by the earths rotation?
Earth's rotation is slowing slightly with time; thus, a day was shorter in the past. This is due to the tidal effects the Moon has on Earth's rotation.
What would cause a planet to face the sun throughout the year?
Synchronous rotation or tidal locking. The Moon is in synchronous rotation about the Earth. Most major moons in the solar system have a synchronous rotation.
Fricton with air caused low orbit satellites to spiral in and eventually crash into earth why does tidal friction cause the moon orbit to spiral out?
Conservation of angular momentum. Tidal friction removes momentum from the Earth, and transfers it to the Earth-Moon system.
Where does nearly all of the energy in the tides originally come from?
From Earth's rotation. Therefore, if tidal energy is used - or not used, but just wasted in friction - Earth will gradually rotate slower and slower.
How do tidal waves get created?
the shifting of earths crust
What loses energy when you use tidal power plants?
The rotation of the planets slows through the use of tidal power.
What forces causes the synchronous rotation keeps the same side of the Moon facing the Earth?
Tidal forces cause the moon to be in a 1 to 1 resonance with the earth.
Does earth change the speed of its spining?
No, the speed of Earth's rotation remains relatively constant. However, there are factors such as tidal friction and atmospheric wind patterns that can cause very small fluctuations in the length of a day over long periods of time. These fluctuations are not noticeable to us in our daily lives.
What is the cause of volcanic activity on io?
Because it is the result of tidal heating from friction in the interior of IO as it's pulled between Jupiter and the other Galilean satellites.
What is the cause of Io's volcanic activities?
Because it is the result of tidal heating from friction in the interior of IO as it's pulled between Jupiter and the other Galilean satellites.
