@dean111133 - Gravity. Caused in part by the planet's rotation, it's essentially the force which not only holds minerals, plants and animals (including us) fast to the surface, but it also holds the atmosphere in place - without which life cannot be sustained. :)

@turricaned - Actually, my understanding is that gravity is caused by the local effect of an object's mass on spacetime, and the more massive and/or closer the object, the greater its gravitational effect on other objects, irrespective of the object's motion (rotational or otherwise). Am I mistaken? Thanks.

@dean111133 I believe he's talking about the electromagnetic field surrounding earth. It's generated by the liquid metal moving in the outer core of the earth. The choas is the electromagnetic radiation being blocked or diverted by the magnetic field

OK, dumb question. What force created by the Earth's rotation is he referring to which stops the chaos flooding in? (And what chaos?)

@Thel @TheI (sp?) That sounds plausible. Thanks!
