What happen if the worlds rotation are slowing down?
Recently, data from NASA and other scientific bodies have warned that the Earth’s rotation has begun to slow down. But the explanations for the effect this will have are manifold. It is clear that no one wants to cause panic. The cause also has several explanations.
I have mentioned this in previous blogs, a couple of years ago, but now the confirmation comes stealthily through unclear articles. I will try to sort out the different versions of published informations.
“If Earth’s rotation slowed down, days and nights would become much longer, eventually reaching a point where one side would be perpetually lit and the other perpetually dark. This would drastically alter weather patterns, disrupt circadian rhythms, and create extreme temperature variations across the globe. The oceans would also be affected, with water moving towards the poles, leading to changes in sea levels and potentially major geological events.” (This is the basic AI explanation)
Various effects that can occur, are the following:
1.Changes in Weather Patterns:
Earth’s rotation influences wind and ocean currents, so a slowdown would disrupt these systems, leading to new weather patterns, that does not include the standard version of climate change. We cannot blame everything on humanity and must accept that Mother Earth has its own life cycle.
2.Ocean Redistribution:
As the Earth’s rotation slows, the ocean would tend to move towards the poles, potentially leading to significant changes in sea levels and coastal areas, which will also increase the amount of ice at both the North and South Poles. Precipitation will also increase in areas around the equator.
3. Geological Activity:
The slowing down of the Earth’s rotation could cause friction between different layers, potentially triggering major earthquakes and volcanic activity. Ocean currents will also change direction, with major consequences to be expected .
4. Shifting of magnetic poles:
The risk of an acceleration of the shifted magnetic poles is great if the Earth’s rotation slows down. This is a natural event that has happened a number of times during the Earth’s lifetime, but what we don’t know is what effects it could cause. The most likely is strong earthquakes, with huge tsunamis as a result.
The reasons for a possible slow-down;
A. Earth’s magnetic field yanks at this solid ball of hot metal, making it spin. At the same time, the gravity and flow of the fluid outer core and mantle drag at the core. Over many decades, the push and pull of these forces cause variations in the core’s rotational speed.
B. The reason Earth’s spin is slowing down can also be, because the Moon exerts a gravitational pull on the planet, which causes a rotational deceleration since the Moon is gradually pulling away.
C. Groundwater Extraction and Mass Redistribution by Human activities, particularly groundwater extraction for irrigation and other uses, have led to significant depletion of underground water reservoirs. This water is then moved to other locations, often the oceans, altering the overall mass distribution on Earth. The result can be that our planet will tilt and therefor change the rotation. A greater use of desalinated seawater could restore the balance, as it would be a reuse cycle of the ocean’s resources instead of using fresh water reservoirs.
Answers to these questions should be discussed at the upcoming COP30 conference in Brazil, instead of trying to solve the world’s environmental issues with huge billion-dollar funds, which ultimately end up in politicians’ bank accounts.
