The Moon exerts a torque on Earth's tidal bulge.  Although the tides are raised in part by the Moon itself, friction between the bulge and Earth's oceans and atmosphere cause it to be in front of the Earth-Moon line in the sense of Moon's motion around Earth.  Consequently , the Moon applies a torque that is acting in opposition to Earth's rotation, and that is also trying to change the direction of the axis in space.  The result is ...   Pick those that apply.     The Moon moving farther away from Earth to conserve system total angular momentum     A lengthening of the day by a second every few years     The direction of Earth's axis precessing around the plane of its orbit.     A speeding up of Earth's rotation
