a.) In class, we learned that the Sun and the Moon are both exerting gravitational pull on Earth. What happens to Earth's axis as a result? wibbly wobbly precession preceding axial tilt regression b.) We also learned that the Earth and the Moon exerting gravitational forces on each other cause tides to be raised. Tides are most noticeable in Earth's water mass, but both the Earth and the Moon's crust deform due to these forces. What would happen if the Moon were even more massive? Tides/deformation would be greater Tides as we know them would stop Tides would stay the same Tides/deformation would get weaker c.) If we were to move the moon twice as far away but make it four times as massive, what would happen to tides? Tides/deformation would get weaker Tides as we know them would stop Tides/deformation would be greater Tides would stay the same
