[Geology2] If the Earth Stood Still

If the Earth Stood Still
Modeling the absence of centrifugal force
By Witold Fraczek, Esri

The following is not a futuristic scenario. It is not science fiction. It is a demonstration of the capabilities of GIS to model the results of an extremely unlikely, yet intellectually fascinating query: What would happen if the earth stopped spinning? ArcGIS was used to perform complex raster analysis and volumetric computations and generate maps that visualize these results.
