i know the moon and the earth is in a state of balance. moon's gravity affects tides on earth. but other than psychological effects to human beings and animals, i cant find any other factors, especially physical factors, that the moon affects.
what if the moon suddenly disappears?
(assume for reasons like an asteroid knocks it out of the orbit and drifts away; or we nuked it with several megatons of nuclear weapon or whatever.)
what would happen to earth
a. immediately
b. within a year
c. years after
care to venture?
Aside from the rather obvious effects of night visuals, key patterns and habits of animals will go haywire. Many use the moon as an indicator AFAIK. Be it for horseshoe crabs to other animals.what if the moon suddenly disappears?

I believe I've heard that the moon affects the tides, thus this will further enhance the destructive factor. By itself, if we consider things, they won't be on such a great magnitude, but however, multiply the things that would be screwed up with each other. You'll get a whole bigger mess than you originally had thought possible without the moon.
