What could happen if we would take all the rocks of the world, and put them on one side of the planet?

@SarahHX,
Sarah there would be a slight jitter in Earth's orbit. Just how much jitter I have no idea

Being the AM maybe Frank I wasn't entirely awake imagining the Western Hemisphere for instance to be one "side" and the poles at "top" and "bottom". Now of course I realize Sarah meant north-south side

So watcha think

@dalehileman,
I'd love to know what "all the rocks in the world" means, given that most of the planet is "rock", molten or otherwise.
