If the Earth suddenly stopped spinning, inertia would cause total chaos. Everything on the surface including people, animals, buildings, oceans, and the atmosphere is moving with the Earth’s rotation. At the equator this speed is about 1670 kilometers per hour. If the planet stopped instantly, objects would keep moving at that speed, throwing people and cars like projectiles. Oceans would surge, creating massive tsunamis. Winds would blast at extreme speeds flattening forests and cities. The Earth itself would deform, causing earthquakes and flooding. Global destruction would be instantaneous and total.
