What will happen if the Earth stops rotating? Give any three points. What
are asteroids?
Answers
1. If the Earth stopped spinning suddenly, the atmosphere would still be in motion with the Earth's original 1100 mile per hour rotation speed at the equator.
2. All of the land masses would be scoured clean of anything not attached to bedrock.
3. There would be only 1 season
Asteroids are minor planets, especially of the inner Solar System. Larger asteroids have also been called planetoids.
Answer:
What will happen if the Earth stops rotating?
1. At the Equator, the earth’s rotational motion is at its fastest, about a thousand miles an hour.
2. If that motion suddenly stopped, the momentum would send things flying eastward.
3. Moving rocks and oceans would trigger earthquakes and tsunamis.
4. The still-moving atmosphere would scour landscapes.
5. But not to worry: Such an event would require the same amount of energy stored in the momentum of everything on our rotating planet, says Jim Zimbelman, a geologist in the Center for Earth and Planetary Studies at the National Air and Space Museum, and no physical mechanism on earth can supply that
