What do you suppose would happen to the ocean's tides if the moon moved closer to the Earth (orbited closer)? What might happen to the tides if the Sun were further away? Support your suppositions with the necessary facts.

Answer:

Other than tidal forces, there is no other geological or climatic influence of the Moon on Earth. There are issues like no more Moon to light up the night sky, no more solar eclipses, etc. but there will be no change in the geology or climate on Earth.
