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?

a. immediately
disasters !
the earth actually wobbles if the moon got pulled away, and that translate into huge earthquakes and gigantic tsunamis that engulf the earth
b. within a year
earth orbit will also be affected, so who knows? maybe the time to travel one round around the sun is no longer 365.25 years, maybe it'll be longer, maybe shorter
c. years after
a lot of biological changes gonna happen, since majority of animals have biological clock tuned to the moon
as of what change... i dunno, i'm just an idiot
