Answer:

The winds loop around and blow from west to east at 30 degrees north and south of the equator. This is why the central United States gets “westerly” (from west to east) weather systems. This would be reversed if Earth were spinning the opposite direction.

hope it is helpful

Answer:

The Earth rotates at a great speed of 1600 km/hr near the equator. If the Earth suddenly started spinning in the opposite direction, everything not fixed to the ground would be launched at 3200 km/hr eastward. This would happen because everything will still be rotating due to inertia towards the east, while the ground suddenly moves towards the west.

This same forces will also cause giant tsunamis as the waters are also thrown towards east. The tsunamis are caused by the lack of gravity at the equator, thus forcing them to move towards the poles. While they move towards the poles they destroy everything in their path and change the whole structure of the planet.
