If the moon were to be removed from the orbit around Earth, theses are the major and some very small consequences. The first major consequence I could see the moon disappearing would have on the Earth is that the Earth's balance and orbit would be thrown out and it could possibly pull the Earth closer or farther from the sun and create major climate change. The second consequence is that the tides from the moon would disappear and that would mean that at noon time is when the tide would be high. The next consequence is that a lot of animals that sleep in the dark/ night time, including humans, sleep schedules would be messed up. This would cause for the animals to slowly have to either adapt or die off because of the exhaustion. That would then end a lot of food chains involving certain rodents, insects, and other animals. A lot of animals would die and that would cause a lot of foods to disappear from human diets. The next consequence I could see is that there would be no more phases of the moon to observe at night and astronomers would have it harder because the moon is very good for studying space and other extraterrestrial objects.
