No, the moon does not create waves, it creates tides because of its gravitational pull.

How are waves created by the moon?

The moon has a gravity like the earth and therefore as it changes from a full moon to crecent so dose the gravitational pull. It is this gravitational pull on the sea that causes waves and high and low tide. The wind can also have an effect on how strong or high the waves will be


How are the tides dependent on the moon?

The tides are dependent on the earth's moon because the moon's gravitational pull brings the waves from high tide to low tide. Without the moon, waves would not exist.


Does the moon have anything to do with tidal waves?

you see, the moon also has gravity, but not as much as earth. so earth and the moon have a "tug-of-war" game for the waves. the farther the moon, the lesser the tides. that's why there is high tide and low tide. I'm sorry if this isn't what your looking for, and i hope this helps.


The moon blocks radio signals sent from earth?

The moon does not block radio signals sent from Earth, but it can cause disruptions in the signals due to its influence on the Earth's ionosphere. Radio waves can still reach the moon and be reflected back to Earth. NASA and other organizations have successfully sent signals to spacecraft on the moon and beyond.


Why does the revolution of the moon along with the Moon's gravity create spring tides?

The Earth's gravitational attraction to the Moon causes spring tides. The area of Earth closest to the moon will experience the gravitational pull of the moon. The oceans react to this gravitational pull by creating a bulge on the side of Earth that faces the moon.

How does the moon create waves?

The moon's gravitational pull creates ocean tides, which in turn generate waves. When the Earth rotates, the tides move around the planet, causing water to rise and fall in a cyclical pattern that leads to the formation of waves.


Does the moon effect the earth?

yeah it makes waves


What type of waves do earthquakes create?

Earthquakes create seismic waves, which are vibrations that travel through the Earth. There are two main types of seismic waves: body waves, which travel through the interior of the Earth, and surface waves, which travel along the Earth's surface. These waves are responsible for the shaking and damage associated with earthquakes.


Does seismic waves last longer on the earth or moon?

Seismic waves travel faster and last longer on the Moon compared to Earth due to the Moon's solid nature and lack of liquid outer core, which dampens and disperses seismic energy. This allows seismic waves on the Moon to propagate further without being absorbed or scattered as much as on Earth.


In a deep valley on Earth a person shouting will hear an echo as the sound is reflected back off the surrounding mountains In a similar valley on the Moon no echo will be heard This is because?

there is no atmosphere on the Moon to carry sound waves and create echoes, unlike on Earth where air allows sound waves to bounce off surfaces and return. Therefore, sound waves on the Moon dissipate quickly without creating echoes, making it impossible for a person to hear their own voice bouncing back.


If you scream on the moon can it be heard on earth?

No it can not be heard on earth because for a scream to travel as sound waves air is required and there is no air on the moon or between the earth and the moon. However if you were in a space suit with a working radio and screamed on the moon, that could be heard on earth because radio waves do not need air to travel in.


How does the waves come in the ocean?

The waves come in the ocean is because of moon. Moon is close to the earth tonight. Tonight the moon pulls up the water in the ocean so that's how The waves come in the ocean.


Are waves inexhaustible?

As long as the earth keeps turning and the moon revolves around the earth

What are the differences between seismic waves on Earth and those on the moon?

on July 1969 we set foot on the moon and created seismic waves (moon quakes) that lasted over an hour that would have lasted only 20-30 seconds on earth(earthquakes). So seismic waves last way longer on the Moon then on Earth.

What will happen to the gravitational force between the earth and the moon?

Tidal waves
