At the moment at work Iam getting people to think by asking them how, with the 
equator spinning at 1038 miles an hour, and the poles sationary, that all the 
earths water doesnt just slide down to the equator with centrifugal force, 
especially considering how even the slight pull of the moon is enough to drag 
the seas.

Can you scientific guys give an explaination as to why this doent happen if the 
Earth really is spinning please?
There must be a formula as to the amount of centrifugal foce that is at work at 
the equator compared to the poles.
Just putting a toy soldier on a spinning LP record and it flys off as it gets 
away from the middle, how much more so must water?
