If the Earth stopped spinning suddenly, the atmosphere would still be in motion with the Earth's original 1100 mile per hourrotation speed at the equator. ... This means rocks, topsoil, trees, buildings, your pet dog, and so on, would be swept away into the atmosphere.

The earth spins at a speed of 1000 miles per hour. Its atmosphere also moves along with it at a constant speed. If the earth stops spinning suddenly, the atmosphere would still be in motion, sending everything on the earth’s surface, flying into the atmosphere.

Now, earth’s spinning generates a centrifugal force which is responsible for the huge bulge of water around the equator. No spinning means no centrifugal force. This water would migrate towards the poles, where gravity is the strongest, leaving behind a giant landmass.

Also, remember that, even though the earth stops spinning, it is still revolving around the sun. This means, we would experience a 6 month day, followed by 6 month night. Some experts also believe that earth’s rotation generates its magnetic field. Without rotation, there would be no magnetic field to protect us from the harmful solar winds, making it extremely difficult to survive.
