Have u ever imagined What Will happen if the earth we live in stops rotating ?

Here are 25 bewildering facts that will occur;

1. We would go for one heck of a
rollercoaster ride. Gravity keeps us firmly rooted to the planet’s
surface, especially useful considering – if on the
equator – Earth’s rotation shoots us through
space at 1,040 miles per hour (1,674 kmh). Thus, if the Earth stopped spinning,
we would be hurtled sideways at 1,040 miles
per hour.

2. But we wouldn't be able to fly into space.Since
Earth’s escape velocity is 25,020 miles per hour
(40,000 kmh), we would not have enough
speed – only moving at 1,040 mph – to leave
the planet.

3. A global hurricane would destroy
countless cities. Since our atmosphere turns at the same
speed, an abrupt stop would create a massively
destructive hurricane over nearly our entire
planet.

4. A global tsunami would roll in. Remember Newton’s First Law? An object in
motion will remain in motion unless acted
upon by an external force.

5. An earthquake will rock the world. If our
planet were to stop spinning, the delicate
balance would be immediately disrupted and
earthquakes would be triggered all over the
planet.

6. Fire will ignite everywhere. The rapid change in wind speed and the
development of hurricanes mentioned in #23
would create a force so strong fires would
spontaneously ignite across the planet.

7. GPS (Global Positioning Systems) would be thrown off

8. The sky will be more static. If the Earth stopped spinning, most of what we
see in the night sky would, too. The stars in the
sky would appear to freeze in place, though we
would still notice the other planets continuing
their orbits.

9. The moon will eventually crash into the earth. The Moon is currently (slowly) drifting away
from Earth. With the Earth stopped, the Moon
would slowly drift closer to Earth until it
impacts the planet many millions of years in
the future.

10. One day will be One year long. Today, one day is equal to 23 hours and 56
minutes. If our planet was to stop spinning, the
sun would stay over half of Earth for six
months and the other half for six months,
killing off most plant and animal life. That
means a six-month-long day followed by a six-
month-long night.

11. The poles become unscathed. if the
Earth stopped spinning, a polar bear or
penguin standing on the North or South Pole
would feel little disturbance.

12. Sun will be blocked from reaching the earth. Dust and debris shot into the atmosphere by a
stopped-Earth would likely block out the sun, at
least temporarily, as happens when volcanoes
spew ash into the sky and as happened during
the asteroid impact which killed off the
remainder of the dinosaurs.

13. The sun's pattern will change. Without the Earth’s normal rotation, the sun
would rise in the west and set in the east.

14. Earth will become a sphere.

15. Oceans will redistribute

16. Wind patterns will change. Current wind systems move in parallel to the
equator but would move from the equator to
the poles if the Earth stopped spinning,
massively altering weather patterns.

17. The ocean's surface will atomise. The rapidly moving wind systems would
atomize the surface layer of any body of water,
including oceans, creating a spray on the
surface and waves that would overturn most if
not all vessels.

interesting!!!
i knew of no.1,3, 5 and 7...
actually added to my knowledge....
this very educating thread deserves FP!

if dis was one nonsense celeb showing of cars it could have been FP already

18. Sea life will die off. The churning of the water would kill off any
creature relying on air to breathe and would
kill off any creature unable to survive on the
low-oxygen water brought up from the cold
depths.

19. Global temperatures will freefall. With our atmosphere largely covered by dust
and debris, a dense fog would simultaneously
settle over the colder ocean waters, causing
temperatures to further drop.

20. We will be bombarded with radiation

21. The northern lights woukd disappear. Also known as the Aurora Borealis, the
northern lights would cease to exist without a
magnetic field.

22. Seasons would cease to exist. Earth’s 23.5° tilt would disappear. The sun
would still be strongest at the equator but we
would have no seasons.

23. The sun will appear mostly stationary. If the Earth stopped rotating, we would see the
sun increase or decrease in the sky only when
changing our latitude.

24. Everyone will be dead

25. How to survive. But, even though the Earth won’t suddenly stop
spinning, to have just a slight chance of
surviving, be underground. Being underground
and inland would shelter us from the
hurricanes and tsunamis that would
immediately erupt and would prevent the
harmful radiation from reaching us. The
problem is you may never be able to leave the
underground again.

also knew of no.19,23 and 24

Interesting to know... As a geographer I can relate to most of it. Knowledge about our planet is what everyone needs to know to clear most doubts and misconceptions we have about the earth, especially why we are on it. Africa as a continent really need to acquaint and avail itself of the opportunities therein in the knowledge about the earth to stop attributing any eventual occurrence to a deity and open our environment for development...
