Earth's rotation is responsible for something called the Coriolis effect, which is what causes hurricanes to spin. How it operates is complicated to explain, but in simple terms, relative to an observer on earth air currents in the northern hemisphere get deflected to the right, and those in the Southern Hemisphere are deflected to the left. This means that low pressure systems such as hurricanes will rotate counterclockwise and clockwise respectively.
If it were not for this effect then hurricanes would never develop, and would instead remain as disorganized clusters of thunderstorms.
What else can I help you with?
What causes two distinct pressure zone between the equator andthe poles?
The equators warm air, and the polar cold air.
What is the relationship between continental drift and formation of the earths oceans?

What is the difference between earth's rotation and facing time?
by the earths rotation around the sun and the pattern in day and night and how the earth moves and how the earth revolves and rotate around the sun.
Does the earths rotation slow down from a hurricane?
No, the Earth's rotation does not slow down as a result of a hurricane. Hurricanes may redistribute the Earth's mass slightly due to atmospheric and oceanic movements, but this effect is negligible compared to the overall mass and rotation of the Earth.
How do hurricanes affect the earths surface?
they obviously destroy things...

What appears to revolve around Polaris due to earth's rotation?
Due to the vast distance between the earth and polaris, the earths axis of rotation essentially lines up with polaris at all times, so when the stars are visible, and viewed from the north pole, the earths rotation causes the stars to appear to rotate around polaris.
