Outside the synchronous orbit: slowly receding, like Luna (~cm per year).
Tidal braking locked the planet to its moon: one face forever moonward.
Tidal flexing melts its interior: an actively volcanic surface (Io-like).
Merged with an adjacent moon: too close for both to hold a stable orbit.
Outside the synchronous orbit: slowly receding, like Luna (~cm per year).
Tidal heat sustains a subsurface ocean over a rock seafloor: a strong candidate for life (Europa-like, 91/100).
Merged with an adjacent moon: too close for both to hold a stable orbit.
