It’s unlikely that the Earth would have a magnetic field. There would be no horizon as such if you could get high enough to see over any intervening hills (or waves), you could see clear to the edge of the world. There would be no difference in climate between the “poles” and the “equator”.Ĭoriolis forces would work differently, so weather systems in the “southern” “hemisphere” wouldn’t rotate in the opposite direction.
There would be no time zones, as the sun would rise and set at the same time across the entire face of the world. (Unless, of course, the flat disc is rotating at such a speed that centripetal acceleration cancels out the effect.)
If you tried to travel towards the edge, you’d be pulled back the middle again. Assuming uniform density, it wouldn’t merely pull “downwards”, it would pull much more strongly towards the centre of the flat structure. All land would eventually be eroded and you would be left with a shallow sea covering the entire disc. There could be no plate tectonics, therefore no mountain ranges.
