Answer: The law of conservation of angular momentum causes the galaxy to rotate rapidly and flatten out as it shrinks in size.

Explanation: The angular momentum will remain constant as a system changes the way of configuration. Researchers say the angular momentum was thought to be a result of the disperse process (scattering in many directions) for merging events.

Hope this helps!
