What happens if the earth suddenly stops to rotate?
Can you tell me what would happen if the earth suddenly stopped rotating?
The sudden stop of the Earth's rotation would have catastrophic consequences. Mounting tsunamis would level cities, and increased solar radiation could cause global extinctions. The Earth's atmosphere would be affected, creating high-speed winds in the direction of the rotation and leading to massive storms. Additionally, the sudden lack of centrifugal force would cause the planet to flatten slightly at the poles and bulge at the equator.
