Key ideas in Earth in the Cosmic Flow
- Lithospheric tides cause the solid crust to rise and fall like the ocean
- The Moon's mass acts as a gravitational anchor to stabilize axial tilt
- The Earth's rigid surface is elastic enough to stretch under lunar pull
- A shifting axis causes extreme, unpredictable changes in seasonal sunlight
- The Theia impact merged the iron cores of two protoplanets into Earth
- The Moon's gravitational effect on the solid Earth
- Tidal friction converts rotational energy into orbital energy
- Lighter rocky debris from the impact's outer layers formed the Moon
- The Moon's role in stabilizing Earth's climate
- The transfer of energy forces the Moon further away while slowing Earth
- The process of tidal friction and its effect on Earth's rotation
- Earth's surface recycling
- Tidal friction and Earth's rotation
- Moon's lack of surface overwriting
- Giant Impact and Earth's core
- Moon as a historical record

Eight weeks. You meant to finish. You didn't.
Tomo gives Earth in the Cosmic Flow the Duolingo treatment: levels, streaks, and quick quizzes that test what you just learned. That game loop is what the tabs above never had, so it's the one you actually finish.
Here's what playing it feels like
A real question from this course. Take your best guess.
Imagine Earth as a spinning top that wants to wobble wildly. What celestial object acts as a gravitational anchor to keep our axial tilt stable?
