What if the earth suddenly stopped spinning? When the earth suddenly stops spinning, things will happen that we could never have imagined. Friends, I have arranged this topic in a few episodes. Today I will discuss the 2nd episode.
- There will be strong winds -
If the Earth were to rotate 'suddenly', a very strong wind would blow at a speed of about 1600-1600 or more. But yes the first few seconds of this strong wind blowing will save the people in the two places. They are- (a) those who were in the sky at that time i.e. flying in a plane and (b) the people in the North and South Poles. In the polar region, the speed of rotation of the earth is said to be the lowest.
But, as the earth suddenly stopped, a terrible cloud of dust would begin to accumulate in a few seconds. Which will start with severe storms and thunderstorms. That lightning will cause tremendous electrification. The power of that thunderbolt will be so much that in a second the planes will be completely reduced to ashes. People on the plane will not be spared.
At the same time, the massive wave or shockwave that will be created in the air due to the sudden impact of the sudden stoppage of the earth is many times heavier than the shockwave of an atomic bomb blast. In a few seconds this wave of air or terrible shockwave will hit the pole. Everything in that area will be shattered.
- There will be huge ocean waves or tsunamis-
If the rotation of the earth stops suddenly, huge ocean waves will be created. To give an example, in 2004 a tsunami caused by a 9.1 magnitude earthquake killed about 250,000 people. So imagine how much damage could be done if the earth stopped.
We'd all be dead the cold side would freeze, the hot side facing the sun would burn
thank you for sharing your thoughts. I do have a question. If, for whatever reason, the earth stops rotating, isn't a tsunami the first thing that will happen? because of the sudden brake everything that isn't firmly tied to the earth will be flung over and water is the first that will rise and fall abruptly all over along with all living things (except trees) and many other non-living materials
You talk about Such a nice and important points. If the earth Stop spinning i think we all be dead in a few seconds. Because when a car is running his wheel is also spinning like the earth if the wheel suddenly stop the car will be crash in a few seconds.
