Answer:
Centripetal force
Explanation:
Since Earth rotates around a fixed axis, the direction of centrifugal force is always outward away from the axis. Thus it is opposite to the direction of gravity at the equator; at Earth's poles it is zero. ... For the rotating Earth, centripetal force is supplied by the gravitational force towards Earth's center.)
take care dear ♥️

Due to rotation, the force that work away from the center of the earth is Centrifugal force.
Explanation:
- Centrifugal force is a force which arises due to the inertia of the moving body and is directed outwards from the axis of rotation of the body.
- Centrifugal force is characterized by an acceleration pushing the body outwards.
- Centrifugal force can be increased by increasing either the speed of the rotation or the mass of the body or by decreasing the radius, which is the distance of the body from the center of the curve.
- Increasing the mass or decreasing the radius increases the centrifugal force in direct or inverse proportion, respectively, but increasing the speed of rotation increases it in proportion to the square of the speed.
- Examples of centrifugal force is a vehicle driving around a curve on the road.
