Answer:

1. At the Equator, the earth's rotational motion is at its fastest, about a thousand miles an hour. If that motion suddenly stopped, the momentum would send things flying eastward. Moving rocks and oceans would trigger earthquakes and tsunamis. The still-moving atmosphere would scour landscapes.

2. The North Pole always points in the same direction during Earth's year-long journey around the Sun. So, different parts of Earth get the Sun's direct rays throughout the year. That is why we have seasons!
