WHAT IF THE EARTH STARTED SPINNING BACKWARDS?

                                         Since its formation the earth has been revolving west to east axis.If one day it started rotating in the  opposite direction,it  would no longer be the earth as we know it.how different would that earth be?why could your home turn into a desert?this is what would happen if the earth started spinning backwards.

            You don't notice it but our planet spins pretty fast 460 meters per second as measured at the equator.A sudden change of direction would cause disastrous winds  and massive weaves.Together,these abnormal weather condition would wipe out nearly everything above the ground. Lest's just skip over this destroying transition.Imagine our planet reversed it's direction billion years ago.you'd see the sun and moon rise in the west and set in the east.And you'd never believe that the Sahara could be a desert.


          how different could be our planet turn out to be?Short answer,reversed would make the earth much greener.Long answer  this new rotation would change winds and the oceans,and that would shift the planet's climate entirely.Oceans work as a global climate control,distributing the sun's heat  all over the earth.They divert moisture from the desert,hottest badlands and carry rainfall to the thorny jungles.

            If  the earth reversed the  it's rotation,one very important climate-driving current would disappear from the Atlantic ocean.Instead ,a different current would surface in the Pacific and become responsible for distributing heat around the globe.This  new current would make the deserts retreat from Africa and Eurasia.You'd have to go to the other side of the planet to do some quad bike on the golden landscape.More specially ,to the Brazil.

            The U.S would also get very  arid in the south.But none of the news barrens would be anywhere close to how dry  the Sahara desert is now.There'd be much more vegetation covering the  planet.That's more oxygen for all of us.But those who loving in western Europe would be in for a shock.The pacific current would push a lot of cold water that way,bringing freezing winters to the region.Russia,on the other hand,would warm up and take a break from being the coldest country on the earth.

           Life on the reverse spinning earth would be different,too.In the oceans,cyanobcteria would dominate over over other phytoplankton species.Billions of years ago, the oxygen pumping cyanobacteria and invented photosynthesis and transformed our planet's atmosphere.May be having so much cyanobacteria on earth would alter the atmosphere even further,fitting it up with too much oxygen for us to even exist.Let's  just leave our planet to spin the way it does.An what if it stops rotating altogether? let's discuss it from another what if article.
