The Moon affects the liquid envelope of the Earth, and the oceanic tides in particular. The Moon affects the ocean tides more in some areas than others. For instance, in the channel between the British Isles and the European continent, the tidal range can be 10 meters, compared to what you see in the Pacific, where it is below a meter. The crust of the Earth is also affected. The Moon’s tidal forcing causes significant heating and dissipation of energy to take place. Part of this energy is heating the Earth, and part of it is dissipated by forcing the Moon to recede from the Earth over time. There are people who propose that the tidal effect of the Moon may have helped trigger the convection on the Earth that led to the multi-plate tectonics. The other planets don’t have the same tectonic cycle. For most of them, the crust is like a lid that doesn’t move much horizontally, and the magma and heat are blocked by this lid on the surface. The Earth instead has rolling convective motion that drags the crust, and then the crust plunges back down into the mantle and gets recycled.

Greetings, abovetopsecret. Zebraman is here. [SNIPPED] The Batman of Toronto but since I hate humans, I'm also the Godzilla of Toronto.
I'm supposed to sleep but the aliens are telling me to come here. Earlier, I was near some stairs, when a black alien appeared and disappeared quickly.

I made an error.
We have to make moon, that doesn't amplify radio emissions, for Mayari.
