The Moon raises tides on Earth. Does Earth raise tides on the Moon?
A) No. The Moon has no oceans (or liquid water of any kind) so there are no tides.
B) No. Earth exerts differential tidal forces on the Moon, but the Moon is much more rigid than Earth (which is why there are no plate tectonics on the Moon) so these forces have no effect.
C) Yes, but these affect only the deep core of the Moon (the only liquid part of the Moon) . The surface remains unaffected.
D) Yes, small tidal bulges are raised on the Moon's surface as Earth's gravity distorts the Moon's shape (and causes moonquakes) .
