Without the earth's rotation, the only natural force controlling oceanic activity would be gravity. The sun and the moon would provide only a minor contribution to ocean behavior because of their distance to the earth. Ocean water would instantly attract towards the part of the earth where the center of the strongest gravity pull is taking place. Tides would centralize to this area and disturbed only by catastrophic weather phenomenon that may be provoked by climatic changes do to the lack of rotation.

DevinOh, dude, if the Earth didn't rotate, we'd have some pretty stagnant tides. The rotation of the Earth creates the gravitational force that causes the tides, so without it, things would be pretty still in the ocean. We'd probably have to come up with a new excuse for being late to work, like blaming it on the lack of tidal movement or something.

If the earth didn't rotate would the earth still have tides?
No
Suppose the gravitation between Earth and the sun suddenly stopped What path would Earth follow?
the earth would rotate the moon or the next closest planet
What if the earth had no low or high tides?
Then we would die i doubt that any thing drastic would happen probably not as wet sand at beaches :D
How would earth landforms and bodies of water would be different if the proportions was reversed?
there would be no water and no land and the earth would not exist anymore
How would earth be different if its crust didn't move and it lacked tectonic plates?
The earth would be flat, and probably devoid of life.
