What would happen if the world started spinning twice as fast? We know what you're thinking – in this case our day would last 12 hours instead of 24. That’s true! But there are many not so obvious and even surprising effects. The water level at the equator would rise by 100 meters because of the centrifugal force of the Earth pulling water from the poles. Our planet's surface would change unrecognizably. Indonesia and most of the northern part of South America would be totally wiped out. And Africa would be separated into 2 islands. This high speed of the Earth's rotation would cause much more severe hurricanes. And they, in turn, would spin at increased speeds too. The amount of water at the equator would cause a huge increase in humidity and a permanent band of fog. #info #EverythingsInfo
