Use complete sentences to explain how global wind patterns such as the polar easterlies in the southern hemisphere would be impacted if earth stops spinning.

As the Earth spins, the Coriolis effect causes a slight change in these north-south winds that influences their direction. Each hemisphere has its own trade wind patterns that blow from its respective pole to the equator and back. This means that the Coriolis effect causes the winds in the northern hemisphere to shift to the right, while the wind currents in the southern hemisphere shift towards the left.

This happens because the earth is rotating underneath the wind current in a very fast counterclockwise direction, leading to this perceived shift in the current. However, the wind currents themselves are not actually shifting; it simply looks as if they are due to the earth rotating below them.

So, if the Earth stops spinning, then there would be no wind.

dang that balls went far
