Answer:
At the Equator, the earth's rotational motion is at its fastest, about a thousand miles an hour. If that motion suddenly stopped, the momentum would send things flying eastward. Moving rocks and oceans would trigger earthquakes and tsunamis. The still-moving atmosphere would scour landscapes.

Currently, what is known to us, is that the planet is slowing down at a rate of 1.7 million seconds per century. It is believed that this is due to the moon’s tidal effect on the earth. If the earth stops rotating all of a sudden, then the atmosphere present around the planet would still be intact at the current earth’s speed of 1100 miles per hour at the equator. With the earth at a standstill and the atmosphere in rotation, it would result in all the masses on earth getting uprooted, circling the planet, and land at another spot across the planet.
