Following are the effects of speed of Earth's rotation:

  1. All moving bodies on the Earth's surface, i.e. ocean currents and winds are deflected towards the right in the Northern Hemisphere and left in Southern Hemisphere.
  2. Cyclones and anti-cyclones are deflected causing atmospheric changes.
  3. It affects the pressure belts and movement of air on the surface of earth.
  4. The bulging of the air at the Equator and flattening at the poles is also due to rotation.
