If earth did not turn how would the tide patterns be affected?

Presumming that the Moon doesn't stop, the tides would change about twice a month.


Would there still be tides if the earth stopped?

Presumably the question is about the Earth's rotation stopping. Eventually, the Earth WILL almost stop rotating on its axis and will become "tidally locked" with the Moon. Then the Earth Moon system will rotate with each facing the other, in "synchronous rotation". At that time and ignoring other things that might happen first, The Earth would no longer have tides. If you want to be really "picky" the Earth would still be rotating very slowly, in that scenario. If the Earth's rotation could stop completely, there would be some (very slow) tides. Also, there would still be a very small effect caused by the Sun.


What would happen to tides if Earth stopped rotating?

It would mean that the Earth had stopped rotating.Even the complete disappearance of the Moon would not stop the tides,because the Sun has a lot of influence on them too. Even without theMoon, there would still be substantial tides, as long as Earth continuedto rotate.(Also note that if the Earth stopped rotating, the disappearance of the tideswould be the least of our problems.)Just to be clear, the tides will stop when the Earth stops rotating relative to the Moon. It would still have some rotation relative to the stars. The Earth's rotation is actually very slowly slowing down. So, eventually, the Moon should only be visible from one side of the Earth.Even then there would still be some rotation relative to the Sun. So, if you want to be really "picky" the tides would not stop completely.This process will take billions of years, so the Sun becoming a red giantmay "spoil" things.


Will tides ever run out?

If you mean, "will the tides ever stop", then the answer is, "not for billions of years". The main cause for tides is the moon which is slowly moving away from Earth at about 3.8 cm (1.5 inches) every year. This will not effect us in any way.


Where did earth hour stop?

It isn't clear what you mean by "earth hour", and how that would stop.


Would you stop breathing if the earth stop spinning?

yes


In 2012 will Earth stop having gravity?

Now this may surprise you, but it's 2018 and earth still has gravity. So I'm gonna go with no, in 2012 earth will not stop pulling gravity.


Information on polution?

The Earth would be a DISASTER area if pollution was everywhere but luckily we have people on Earth who are concerned. A lot are! We need to stop littering and having facteries that produce smoke into the air. If not we could die.


What will happen to earth if the convection currents stopped?

THE EARTH WOULD END. All things would stop eventually, leaving a hot core and a very, VERY dead Earth. Earth would PROBABLY stop moving, disrupting the Solar System. SO: Convection currents, if you stop, the universe will END.


Is it possible to stop a meteorite?

You can't stop meteor showers. They are naturally occuring events. As Earth goes through space, it encounters all sorts of dirt and debris which then enter our atmosphere and burn up in an instant. So it is impossible to stop them. It would be like trying to stop wind or rain or tides. Meteor showers are spectacular to watch, so nobody would want to stop them. There are very few meteors that pose any dangers to Earth.


How do moon and earth interact?

The moon offers the earth stability in its orbit because of the gravitational force at work. And the fact that this was designed means the tides in the oceans on earth and animals have adependancy on all gravitational forces on and about the earth.


Would it hurt the earth if the core stop moving?

No.
