When rivers flow towards equator, what effect they bring to the rotation of the earth on carrying the sediments with them?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To analyze the effect of rivers flowing towards the equator and carrying sediments on the rotation of the Earth, we can break down the problem into several steps: ### Step 1: Understanding the Flow of Rivers Rivers flow from higher altitudes (like mountains) towards lower altitudes (like the sea), and in the case of rivers flowing towards the equator, they carry sediments with them. ### Step 2: Accumulation of Sediments As rivers transport sediments towards the equator, these solid particles accumulate in the equatorial region. This accumulation of mass is significant because it alters the distribution of mass on the Earth. ...

Many great rivers flow toward the equator. The sediments that they carry, increases the time of rotation of the earth about its own axis. The angular momentum of the earth about its rotation axis is conserved.
