Changes on the surface of the Earth if the Earth goes back

If the reversal turns, the Earth will become greener, the Sahara desert will become a lush jungle while the Amazon forest turns into arid sand dunes.

If the Earth turns in the opposite direction, the continents will undergo major changes. The desert will cover North America, the arid sand dunes will replace the Amazon forests in South America, and the lush green trees will sprout from Central Africa to the Middle East, according to a computer simulation. He announced earlier this month at the annual joint meeting of the European Geological Science Union in Austria, according to Live Science.

According to the simulation, not only will the desert disappear on some continents and appear on other continents, but the cold winter will overflow across Western Europe. Cyanobacteria, the group of bacteria that produce oxygen through photosynthesis, will thrive where they have never existed before.The AMOC (Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation) , an important stream of ocean currents that helps regulate the climate on the Atlantic Ocean, will disappear and emerge again in the North Pacific.

In the Earth's one-year orbit around the Sun, our planet takes 24 hours to complete the rotation around the axis, rotating at a rate of about 1,670km / h as measured in the equator. The direction of the Earth's rotation is similar to the surrounding celestial bodies, from west to east, or counterclockwise if viewed from above the North Pole. This is the common direction of all planets in the solar system, except Venus and Uranus, according to NASA.

As the Earth rotates, the gravitational pull and push force of the planet's momentum shapes the ocean current, along with the atmosphere's atmosphere, creating many weather patterns throughout the globe. These models bring abundant precipitation to wet forests or lose moisture on impoverished precipitation lands.

To study how the weather system on Earth is influenced by its rotation, scientists modeled the digital version of the Earth's rotation in the opposite direction, clockwise. If observed from above the North Pole, Florian Ziemen, a researcher at the Max Planck Institute of Meteorology in Germany, the participant of the simulation construct said.'The Earth's rotation reverses all important features of terrain such as continent and ocean size, shape and location, and creates a series of conditions that are completely different from the interplay climate circulation and terrain ' , Ziemen said.

The new dimension facilitates ocean currents and winds to interact with the continent in a new way, creating completely new climate conditions around the world. The team used the Earth System Model of the Max Planck Institute to change the relationship between the Earth and the Sun and reverse the Coriolis effect, the invisible force pushing the object moving on the rotating planet's surface.

After making adjustments and modeling the Earth's rotation in the opposite direction, the researchers observed changes in the weather system for several thousand years. They found the Earth to turn in the opposite direction will be greener. The global coverage of the desert decreases from about 42 million square kilometers to 31 million square kilometers. The growth grass in the past half of the area is desert, and the trees grow in half of the remaining areas. The new vegetation will store more carbon than the Earth turns in the current direction. However, deserts will appear in places never seen before such as southeastern America, southern Brazil and Argentina and northern China.

The change in rotation also reverses the wind pattern on the globe, leading to changes in temperature in the subtropical and mid-latitude regions. The western part of the continents will be cooler while the eastern part will warm up and the winters will be much colder in northwestern Europe. The current also changes direction, warming the eastern edge and cooling the western edge of the seas.

AMOC, the ocean currents responsible for transporting warmth across the globe, disappeared from the Atlantic Ocean, but a slightly stronger similar ocean current would appear in the Pacific Ocean, bringing warmth to Russia's east. This is a bit unusual because the study of the previous Earth reversing did not detect this change."But AMOC is the result of many complex interactions in the climate system, there may be many reasons for this difference," Ziemen explained.

The changing ocean currents in the Indian Ocean also allow cyanobacteria to proliferate in the area. However, for Ziemen, it is the most interesting change in their model.
