It would mean that the Earth had stopped rotating.
Even the complete disappearance of the Moon would not stop the tides,
because the Sun has a lot of influence on them too. Even without the
Moon, there would still be substantial tides, as long as Earth continued
to rotate.
(Also note that if the Earth stopped rotating, the disappearance of the tides
would be the least of our problems.)
Just to be clear, the tides will stop when the Earth stops rotating relative to the Moon. It would still have some rotation relative to the stars. The Earth's rotation is actually very slowly slowing down. So, eventually, the Moon should only be visible from one side of the Earth.
Even then there would still be some rotation relative to the Sun. So, if you want to be really "picky" the tides would not stop completely.
This process will take billions of years, so the Sun becoming a red giant
may "spoil" things.
We wouldn't care, because the amount of energy it would take to stop the Earth from spinning would destroy the planet anyway.
Eventually, billions of years from now, IF the Earth and Moon survive the expansion of the Sun into a red giant, the Earth's rotation will slow down and the Earth will become tidally locked like the Moon is. The Earth will spin at the same speed that the Moon orbits, and the Moon will appear to be suspended in the sky. When that happens, there will no longer be any tides.
Yes, but the Earth would still be rotating, very slowly, relative to the distant stars. The estimate I've seen is that the length of the Earth's rotation period then would be about 47 times the length of our present Earth Day. If it were possible for the Earth to stop rotating altogether, there would technically be some tides again, but that's a bit pedantic.
Also, there would still be some very small effects because of the Sun.
The Earth rotating and its tilt of the axis forms the oceans' tides and currents.
There would be one less form of erosion on earth.
It's kind of pointless to ask what would happen if something that literally cannot possibly happen happened.Tides are a result of gravity. Gravity isn't going away, therefore tides are not going away.Specifically, Earth's tides are primarily a result of the Moon's gravity and the Sun's gravity. Even supposing somehow that the Moon were to be destroyed, there would still be tides (about the size of neap tides) due to the Sun. If the Sun were to suddenly vanish as well, we'd have much bigger problems than worrying about tides.Comment: Tides are caused by differences in gravitational force at different points. So, gravity doesn't need to go away, but differential gravity does.Also, the ocean tides on Earth depend a lot on the effect of the Earth's rotation.So, it's possible they could go away. The Earth's rotation is slowing down, but only very slowly.If the Earth suddenly "magically" had no tides, one obvious effect would be on the creatures that live in and around coastal tidal waters.Ships and ports would be affected too.Also, electrical energy generation based on tidal changes would not work.
Yes. High tides happen on the point on earth closest to the moon, and the opposite side of the earth.
Earth has a total of 4 tides a day 2 high tides and 2 low tides.
If the Earth (more or less) stopped rotating.
Presumably the question is about the Earth's rotation stopping. Eventually, the Earth WILL almost stop rotating on its axis and will become "tidally locked" with the Moon. Then the Earth Moon system will rotate with each facing the other, in "synchronous rotation". At that time and ignoring other things that might happen first, The Earth would no longer have tides. If you want to be really "picky" the Earth would still be rotating very slowly, in that scenario. If the Earth's rotation could stop completely, there would be some (very slow) tides. Also, there would still be a very small effect caused by the Sun.
If there were no tides, Earth wouldn't be the same
Tides
The moons gravitational pull on the earth lifts the Earth's oceans causing the ebb and flow of the tides.
Tides would become stronger.
Tides would become stronger.
They will rise.
The Earth rotating and its tilt of the axis forms the oceans' tides and currents.
neap tides occur..
High tides wouldn't be as high and low tides wouldn't be as low.
Negligible gravity, no tides, no atmosphere, no life
