It is basically an applied case of projectile motion. When a body is thrown, the force is applied tangentially to the curve of the earth but the motion of the object is in a parabolic form due to the action of gravity. The moon revolves around the earth in a similar way but due to the velocity with which the moon got hooked onto the earth’s gravity keeps it from falling onto the earth. This keeps the moon in a pretentious orbit around the earth even though it is moving further away from our planet by an ever so little margin.
