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

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

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

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

Why is there a "double standard" applied to sex between a dog and a human? Why is it that to many who are at least mildly okay with bestiality, a WOMAN having sex with a male dog is fine, but a guy with a female dog is not?

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

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.

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

Two of my family members have recently converted to Islam and have brought shame on my family. How do I get them back into the fold of Hinduism?

Does the solid Earth + the oceans stop spinning?

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

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

Do Republicans want to ban books and decide what your kids can and can’t read?

“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.

Does the rocky planet alone stop spinning?

Isn't it a turn on to have sex with a girl in a skirt or in a tight spandex?

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.
