Disappearance of the major component of the tides, with a devastating effect on intertidal organisms and probably other ecosystems that benefit from the flushing action of tides. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cryptocracy Posted March 4 Author Share Posted March 4 When the world first formed, its rotation speed was faster than it is now and it started to slow down. Will the slowdown be faster when the moon disappears? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joigus Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 (edited) Had the Moon disappeared more than 4000 4.109 ya it would have been much much worse. Most Earth scientists think it was essential in the appearance of life. 2 hours ago, Genady said: Another ecological effect will be on organisms which use Moon for timing, for example, coral spawning.

Coming from me lately, how could it be otherwise? fortunately more than 4000 and more than 6000 could also be more than 4.7x109 yo. Thanks Edited March 4 by joigus correction 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
