The truth is that life on Earth will be in disaster if one day our planet stops rotating.
Even at this moment, our Earth is still revolving around the Sun. At speeds of up to 108,000km/h, our planet travels up to 940km in just one revolution.
But with such a “terrible” rotation speed, have you ever wondered, how will humanity and all things live if the Earth suddenly stops rotating?
Perhaps the most dire scenario awaits us… Specifically…
Objects that are not fixed to the ground will be swept away at a speed of 1600km/h.
We do not feel the “terrible” speed of the Earth’s rotation. But if the Earth stops spinning suddenly, according to NASA expert – Sten Odenwald – objects that are not fixed to the ground will be swept eastward at more than 1,600km / h.
At this point, we could be thrown very far – probably off the Earth.
The force of the wind makes the ocean move strongly, forming a “terrible” tsunami.
The force of the wind will cause the sea and ocean to move strongly, forming “terrible” tsunamis, along with countless tidal waves, hurricanes – enough to wipe out coastal cities.
There appeared winds that were as destructive as the explosion of an atomic bomb.
The Earth stops rotating but the atmosphere will still move with its original rotational velocity at the equator – 465m/s (about 1,609km/h). This creates winds that are as destructive as the explosion of an atomic bomb.
The ocean will shift towards the poles.
As the Earth rotates, the centrifugal force of the rotation creates a bulge at the equator. If it suddenly stopped rotating, over time the Earth would have a perfect sphere because the bulge has now flattened.
The ocean will shift towards the poles, where gravity is greatest, creating two super oceans and a continent in between.
Volcanoes and tsunamis are always waiting to “explode” at any time.
The Earth is getting hotter and hotter, the friction generated when the Earth stops rotating will still collide with the wind.
These winds are enough to ignite unprecedented fires. Along with that, volcanoes and tsunamis are always waiting to “explode” at any time.
Half of the earth will be extremely hot, the other half will be too cold.
If the Earth continued to rotate once around the Sun, half of that would be heated, making it hot and always bright with the highest temperature at the equator. The second hemisphere will become a kingdom of eternal night and arctic cold.
The magnetic field disappears, humans will have to receive deadly radiation from the sun.
The magnetic field is considered a shield to protect people from solar storms. However, those around are also exposed to deadly amounts of ionizing radiation.
Humans need to change to adapt to the new living environment.
To avoid radiation, heat… people can adapt and choose living conditions to match the conditions between day and night.
You may have to spend 6 months in a row in the heat and then the bone-chilling heat 6 months later.
The Moon will also “go” slow down, the distance from the Earth and the Moon will decrease.
Professor Vaughan Pratt from Stanford University said that the Moon will also “walk” slow, the distance from Earth and Moon will decrease. Over time, the Moon can also fall at any time, and will fall on our planet.
Although the whole scenario is really scary, but according to NASA experts – the possibility of the Earth’s rotation actually not happening in the next few billion years.
