Duplicate of How would winds behave on a tidally locked planet?
Jan 30, 2019 at 6:06 comment added Pelinore It's usually considered best to allow at least 24 hours to pass to get enough answers to be able to choose a best answer (in part to allow time for those in other time zones a chance to respond) it was locked too soon for that of course but locked questions are sometimes unlocked if appropriate (after editing etc).
Jan 30, 2019 at 6:03 comment added Adam Klump @Pelinore I was curious how the change in mass accumulating on one side of the planet due to the concentration of h2o would impact the planet being tidally locked. The resources in both the answer provided and in the duplicates was helpful.
Jan 30, 2019 at 5:58 comment added Adam Klump @L.Dutch Because the person gave a valid response. Should that person not get credit (i.e. improved reputation) because I screwed up by asking a duplicate?
Jan 30, 2019 at 5:36 comment added Pelinore None of those "dupes" (suggested so far) ask if a tidally locked planet is possible, though asking that doe seem a bit unnecessary.
Jan 30, 2019 at 5:27 comment added L.Dutch If you recognize it is a duplicate, why did you accept an answer?
Jan 30, 2019 at 5:18 vote accept Adam Klump
Jan 30, 2019 at 5:15 comment added Adam Klump My apologies for the duplicates. I did honestly try to search for some, but obviously used the wrong term. Thanks for the resources and corrections.

Jan 30, 2019 at 4:38 comment added ltmauve The term you're looking for is "tidally locked," which has to do with the orbiting body (in this case, the planet.) Geosynchronous say to do with the central body, (in this case the sun)
