It is possible but so far it has not been possible to prove it.

That's right. It has not yet been fully demonstrated. But there are studies that have shown high correlations. Some of them are published in prestigious scientific journals. It makes sense because the gravitational attraction that the moon exerts on the Earth and that causes the tides, not only affects the surface of the sea, but also the solid part of the planet.
