er...the land would sink too...
Fraczek puts a lot of words behind his idea...and completely neglects that the magma under the crust is a fluid too. The same centrifugal force that causes the oceans to bulge at the equator also causes the Earth to bulge similarly. If the planet were to stop spinning (gently enough to not destroy the planet), it seems likely that the earth and sea would adjust in the same way so as to end up with an Earth that looks the same, if a bit more round.
