What happens if the moon fell?

Watch the 2002 version of The Time Machine, it kind of tells you what happens if the moon was to fall to earth.

Its orbiting the earth meaning it is falling toward the earth but is moving so fast prependicular that it..falls over the other side of the earth... That is what creates orbits..

Its like a bullet shot off the edge of a cliff the bullet travels far before it hits the ground ..

The moon is travelling so fast by the time it would habe hit us it is no longer above us but beside so to speak

What would it trip over?

Really not a pleasant way to go.

No one knows and ANYTHING said is only speculation.

Hopefully it would fall in the ocean, where it could harm no living thing. It would certainly make a big splash, so if you like surfing, that would be the perfect time.

Fell??? to where???

To Earth Maybe - we would all die.

Things will be changed dramatically for the worst.

Our tides will be utterly screwed over if it fell out of orbit. The moons orbit around us pulls on earths oceans.

First of all, it can't really 'fall', since it's in orbit. but let's assume that it crashed into the earth.

First of all - we'd notice. The giant shockwave would probably decimate anything that the moon itself didn't destroy.

After the shockwave ends, the debris knocked up will orbit around the planet, blocking the sun's rays. This is what happened to the dinosaurs.

Assuming there're any humans still alive after the initial impact, the heat deprivation would kill all living things on the planet, meaning human extinction.
