hey mate
here is your answer :-
How the ding dang would something like this ever happen! The spin axis of Earth, and its spin energy are extremely robust and it would require a close encounter with another planet-sized body to torque the Earth into a substantially different orientation. Such and encounter would last a week for a deep encounter, and the tectonic upheavals would be tremendous, horrible, etc etc. The surface of the Earth would become molten as the tremendous tidal energies are dissipated. NO ONE would possibly survive it and the biosphere+atmosphere would be transfigured.
Currently, the Earth is spinning about 1000 miles per hour at the equator. A LOT less towards the poles. An appreciable change in rotation direction would produce winds with speeds of thousands of miles per hour EVERYWHERE. Anything not anchored to bedrock would be torn out of the soil and mixed with a world-enveloping hurricane of activity. The Earth would remain engulfed in thick clouds of dirt, dust and debris for decades. I cannot imagine anything surviving such a catastrophy, because the solid Earth would be wracked by earthquakes the likes of which have never been experienced by living organisms in over 3 billion years or more. There would be no spot on the Earth not affected by 100 - 500 mile per hour winds and earthquakes of magnitude +7 and MUCH HIGHER.
Any scenario that includes such a catastrophy would have to presume the complete destruction of the biosphere as a given. The only survivors would be bacteria. The tidal forced exerted upon the Earth would be enough to raise the surface of the earth several miles or more, and the tidal energy would probably be enough in a close encounter to liquify large portions of the crust.
I hope it helps you
