Answer 1

Assuming you mean tides, it’s like a swing, over 100s of millions of years the tiny tug this way, and then that way, has added up to huge masses of water moving across oceans.

Smaller bodies of water like lakes just don’t have the room for the swing to create the effect. And human bodies move around on their own making the effect irrelevant.
