Why if the moon suddenly disappeare

1.	Why if the moon suddenly disappeare
Answer» And since the ocean is so big, all the water from one horizon pushes up against water from the other, resulting in a fantastic tidal bulge.\xa0If the moon disappeared, we wouldn\'t be totally out of tidal luck; the sun also stretches and squeezes the Earth, so our surfing opportunities wouldn\'t be completely eliminated.\xa0Since the\xa0moon\xa0affects the altitude and movement of Earth\'s water, our ocean tides\xa0would\xa0shrink. Scientists suggest that without the\xa0moon, tides\xa0would\xa0be 1/3 of the size they are now. High tides\xa0would\xa0be much smaller than they are now, and low tides\xa0would\xa0be even lower.
