What would happen if the Earth stopped spinning for one minute?

If the oceans keep going, Earth’s surface is scoured clean by tsunamis moving at hundreds of miles per hour. Nearly everyone dies.

If the whole Earth stops by magic, with the angular momentum just vanishing and then reappearing, then the result is very minor. Every clock on Earth would need to be recalibrated against our satellites (unless they magically got paused as well). Siderial, solar, and atomic time would all be out of sync. Other than that, everybody would want to know: What the heck just happened? How did Earth magically stop and start again? But everybody is just fine.

Bottom line: Depending on the underlying intent of the question, the answer could be anything from the destruction of the planet and every living thing, to a minor inconvenience that requires resetting our clocks.

What are "demonic attacks" and how can one tell when they're happening to them, or someone else? How would one go about dealing with it?

If Earth’s rotation is stopped by a collision, everyone dies. The planet is destroyed.

If only the atmosphere keeps going, Earth’s surface is blasted with winds moving at hundreds of miles per hour. Most people die.

Does the whole planet (from core to atmosphere) stop spinning?

Trevor Penning: The things I do well fit better at guard - NBC Sports

If Earth’s rotation is stopped and all the angular momentum is released as heat, everyone dies.

Does it stop due to a massive collision, or does it stop by magic?

Does the rocky planet alone stop spinning?

Can a mother forget her child after she puts him or her up for adoption?

The answer depends entirely on how you interpret the question, which is why you see so many completely different responses.

Does the solid Earth + the oceans stop spinning?

If it stops by magic, does all the energy from Earth’s angular momentum also disappear by magic, or is it released as heat?
