Well it's a natural phenomenon. If moon is not rotating then some thing else any where else in our solar system will do something to compensate for this energy.
Remember : Energy can neither be created nor be destoyed and according to the energy conservation principle this energy will have to be redirected . So it can be millions of other possibilities :)
Like days will be shorter ans earth rotates fast to use that excess energy or something like that.

There wouldn't be tides, which are created by the moon's gravitational pull on the Earth. The moon would not be there as a source of light during the evening, and there wouldn't be any eclipses.
I read an article in a scientific magazine saying that if the moon did not exist, Earth would be wobbling dangerously on its axis. It stated that the moon balanced the Earth on its tilted axis.
Hope this helps!

We wouldn't have the moon as a source of light at night, and the tides would be significantly different.

if the moon stops rotating it will just fall towards the earth under the earth's gravitational pull

No tides, No eclipses, meteorite crashes, confused birds and animals and no religion.

There would be much lower tides in the ocean, and no eclipses.

The tides would be drastically reduced.
