Because of twisting forces 'caused by the earths rotation...
When you unplug a washing basin in the northern hemisphere, the water spirals down the plughole in a clockwise direction, and when you unplug a washing basin in the southern hemisphere, the water spirals down the plughole in an anticlockwise direction.
True or False?
There are 7 Planes Of Existance:
7 — Material Plane: The earth, where you are right now.
6 — Plane of Forces
5 — Astral Plane
4 — Mental Plane

when we watched the long way down... they tried to do it and its true lol!
Even better if you do it on the Equator

It's false I'm afraid....very popular myth though.There is a force caused by the earths rotation, called "Coriolis force" but it doesn't effect the water down the plughole.

The Earth is wider at the Equator, than Pole to Pole?

My guess is that it probably is wider..no? I've heard the earth doesn't rotate perfectly either...it sort of wobbles....is that right?

Buy me a ticket to the moon and i will check for you sirMy guess is that it probably is wider..
ps can i have a return ticket otherwise it might cost a bit to get a lunar cab back
Spin anything, and the faster it goes the more it tries to fling everything out. You can easily see it when making pottery, so the Earth is wider around the Equator.......however, this hard fact of physics falls apart when it comes to galaxies, and if you know why you'll be famous and probably have a spacecraft named after you.

True or False? A bulge in the Earth's crust constantly follows the Moon

Has this got something to do wtih the moon controlling our tides?True or False? A bulge in the Earth's crust constantly follows the Moon

i had better start now can i borrow the space craftSpin anything, and the faster it goes the more it tries to fling everything out.

Is it also true that gravity is stronger at the two poles?
It does after 48 San Migs!!!!My guess is that it probably is wider..
I could be REALLY boring and answer these questions............so I won't!

Gravity changes all around the globe depending on the thickness of the Earth's crust.

Oh come on Al! What you really mean is you have no idea what the answers are!It does after 48 San Migs!!!!

The Philippines has an area of sea/ocean which is the 2nd deepest in the world I have read somewhere.Oh come on Al! What you really mean is you have no idea what the answers are!
I REALLY do know the answers - honest! The Beano does have its uses you know!
