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

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.

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

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

How do I get people to see my writing? I'm having a really hard time getting my writing out there. I post on Tumblr, but not many see it.

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?

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

How will the international community, especially the United Nations and major powers like the US, respond to the breakdown of the Gaza cease - fire by Israel on March 18 and the resulting large - scale conflict?

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

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

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

Why wasn't Queen as successful in America as in other countries? Then, after Radio Ga Ga, they couldn't even get into the top 40 in America even when these songs were top 10 hits everywhere else in the world.

Does the solid Earth + the oceans stop spinning?

Does the rocky planet alone stop spinning?

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

Why did Donald T**** post on Truth Social (9-15-2024) that he "hates" entertainer Taylor Swift?

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.
