What happens if our planet suddenly stop? In fact, this question is much more complicated than it may seem at first glance, in many ways the answer to this question depends on how and relative to what it stops. And options may be somewhat - stop in space, or stop rotation around the axis, or the same, but smoothly. Let's look at all three options.
A sharp stopping of rotation around the axis is practically impossible - except in the case of a very powerful impact of a major asteroid in the counter direction, and then the earth will not stop at all and not at all. But ... let's say, the land sharply stopped his rotation. What awaits us in this case. 
To begin with, we remember that the Earth is not solid - the earth is all - it is equal to the apple peel. Under this bark there is a liquid magma and the kernel, which are also rotating. With a sharp stop of the Earth, all this liquid substance is still checked several times, the cruel and breaking the "apple skin". As a result, it will instantly occur so powerful earthquakes with multi-kilometer faults and eruptions of volcanoes where they are not goodwiring, which is hardly any living stay on this planet. In addition, the atmosphere will also "verify" around the Earth. Moreover, its speed will be the same as the speed of rotation of the Earth, and this is about 500 m / s, then so the wind will demolish everything that can be. Maybe even the loss of the atmosphere, full or partial, due to the power of inertia will occur.
All this is possible, but, most likely, everything will happen to tribality simply - the huge kinetic energy of the Earth and the inertia's strength will tear it and will occur the usual Bach. And the blocks of the solar system are flying.
In the case of a smooth stop of rotation, everything will happen as scary. Scientists have already modeled such a situation. There will be a redistribution of sushi and ocean. Due to the disappearance of the centrifugal force, the water will no longer strive for the equator. There will rather move the mainland. Will be flooded both the northern regions and southern. Two separate ocean is formed - North and South. 
And about the equator, taking into account the inclination of the earth's axis, is formed by one solid continent, stuffing the land. At the same time, the day on the planet will last exactly a year - until the Earth makes a complete turn around the Sun. Instead of the seasons of the year, the days of the day will be night, morning, day and evening. Accordingly, the climate will be another - the tropics day, and at night - the Arctic. The movement of atmospheric air will somewhat soften it, but not much. After all, almost the polar oceans will not be too warm and will have their own cold influence.
There is another option to stop the Earth - if it stops the movement in orbit around the sun. This, of course, is impossible, but no one forbids ... If the land stop and provide yourself, then the following - the planet will come down with orbits and rushes in the direction of the sun. But it will not reach it, as the sun has its own movement in space. 
The land will fly pretty close to him in a cometary orbit. Solar wind blows the whole atmosphere, all the water will evaporate. Flying the sun, a charred ball, the former once "Blue Planet," rushes further into space. The Earth will reach the orbits of the planets - giants, maybe even the orbits of Neptune or Pluto, until it turns back towards the Sun. But this is at best. No need to forget that the Earth is not an ordinary asteroid, but a very massive body. With his movement, she will make the sound in the movement of other planets and their satellites that were not very far away. All of them will come off their orbits and their movement is unpredictable. Being between or near the planets - giants, such as Jupiter and Saturn, it can be torn by them in shreds. In this case, another asteroid belt will appear. In addition, in its path, the Earth will meet asteroids of different sizes, which can also participate in the "finishing" of the Earth's corpse.
Such a scenario of events is possible only by the cessation of the rotation of the Earth ... In any case, we will not know the land after that if we see.
After stopping the Earth, its magnetic field will disappear, which is created by the rotation of the iron core of the planet.
It should be clarified that the instantaneous stop of the rotation of the Earth is almost impossible. It will still slow down for some time. But if you imagine that the earth will suddenly stop, you can imagine the following script.
As is known from the school year of geography, its mantle and core is under the crust of the Earth. They rotate in the opposite side of the side. With a sharp stop of the globe, the kernel and the mantle will be checked several times, the cruel and breaking the entire lithosphere. As a result, highlight earthquakes with multi-kilometer faults and volcanic eruptions will occur. This will lead to mass extinction of everything alive on Earth.
In addition, the atmosphere of the planet will also be checked around the globe. And since its speed of rotation will be the same as the land, making up the order of 500 m / s, and a little later it will increase several times, then all living and non-residential objects will be demolished from the surface. At the same time, everything will fly to the east. The water in the oceans will also flow in this direction, and in the inertia forming giant tsunami due to the inertia's strength, and complete or partial loss of the atmosphere is not excluded. When this kinetic energy of the Earth and all the same inertia strength can simply be able to break the planet to pieces.
If the stop will happen smoothly, the scenario will be slightly different. Centrifugal forces squeeze the land in the poles, creating an elevation at the equator. At the same time, the diameter of the planet is 43 km more than the poles. If the rotation stop occurs, this elevation will disappear, and all the oceans are glasses to poles. There will be a global distribution of sushi and water. At the same time, two separate oceans are formed - the North and South. And according to the equator, taking into account the inclination of the earth's axis, a single continuous continent is formed, stuffing the land.
There will be a complete change in the course of the day and night and shifts of seasons on the planet. While the Earth does not make a full turn around the sun, the day on Earth will last one year! The concept of the seasons of the year will disappear. Now there will be only days of day - night, morning, day and evening. The climate will also change. In the afternoon there will be warmth, and at night - frosty.
In another temperature mode, the wind will begin blowing away from the equator to the poles, and not distributed parallel to the equator as it is now. Climate change will also occur for reasons for changing the movement of underwater trends, which will entail global restructuring in marine ecosystems.
After stopping the Earth, its magnetic field will disappear, which is created by the rotation of the iron core of the planet. Now its surface will not be protected from the radiation of the solar wind and from high-energy particles from a long-range space. If, after global catastrophes, some kinds of animals, plants, and the person will still survive, they will undergo numerous mutations.
By the way, in reality, the Earth actually slows down its rotation. Due to the tidal forces between it and the Moon every 100 years, the day becomes longer than 1.5-2 milliseconds. After 140 million years in the earthly days will be 25 hours.

We asked such strange questions as such as "How would the world looked, if all the ice was melted on earth" Or for example "What will happen if proceeding the tunnel through the center of the Earth"
And now the following situation: Imagine that the Earth stopped. It is argued that if the earth suddenly stop rotating around its axis, life on the planet will be impossible.
Why let's figure it out so ...
This is not such a simple question as it seems. The answer depends on what and how it stops. Options may be somewhat - a sudden stopping of rotation around the axis, the same, but smoothly, and finally - stop in space, that is, the cessation of the movement around the Sun. Due to the not enough question, consider all three options.
A sharp stopping of rotation around the axis is practically impossible - except in the case of a very powerful impact of a major asteroid in the counter direction, and then the earth will not stop at all and not at all. But ... let's say, the land sharply stopped his rotation. What awaits us in this case.
The Earth rotates from west to east with a linear speed at the equator 465,1013 m / s (1674,365 km / h).
In particular, all objects "continue" movement, while developing a speed of more than 1500 km / h. The strongest wind will appear, which will instantly lead to the giant tsunami. The day will stretch for a year: first six months without ceasing will shine the sun, and then those who can survive at a record heat and drought, for a whole half of the year will get into the darkness and frost. Oceans due to gravity will move to the poles, and the drying is distributed along the equator. And finally, the last survivors will kill solar radiation.
You can still remember that the earth is not solid - the earth is all - it is equal to the apple peel. Under this bark there is a liquid magma and the kernel, which are also rotating. With a sharp stop of the Earth, all this liquid substance is still checked several times, the cruel and breaking the "apple skin". As a result, it will instantly occur so powerful earthquakes with multi-kilometer faults and eruptions of volcanoes where they are not goodwiring, which is hardly any living stay on this planet.

All this is possible, but, most likely, everything will happen to tribality simply - the huge kinetic energy of the Earth and the inertia's strength will tear it and will occur the usual Bach. And the blocks of the solar system are flying.
The Tech Insider online magazine presented a video demonstrating the development of events in case the land stops sharply.
In the case of a smooth stop of rotation, everything will happen as scary. Scientists have already modeled such a situation. There will be a redistribution of sushi and ocean.

As you probably know the Earth revolves around its axis, thanks to which we have, for example, day and night. Of course, it is impossible, but what would happen if the land stopped rotating?
The first thing that comes to mind is an impulse that will get everything is on the surface of the Earth. We are with you the power of gravity, however, we move through the space with a linear rotation speed of 1,674.4 km / h (at the equator). You do not notice it. A good example for understanding what will happen to move in a car and a sharp stop. That is, if the earth suddenly stops rotating, everything on its surface will suddenly start moving at a speed of more than 1600 km / h (at the equator). This will be not enough to fly into space, but it will be enough to cause terrible damage. Just imagine for a moment that all the oceans began to move at a speed of 1600 km / h towards sushi.
The speed of rotation of the Earth decreases from the equator to the poles. Therefore, the further you will be from the equator, the less your speed will be. If you are standing right on the northern or southern pole, you will not feel anything.
The next problem is that day and night will become much longer. Now the Earth rotates around his axis, returning the sun in almost the same position in the sky every 24 hours. However, if the Earth stops, she will need 365 days to return the sun to the same position. Thus, on one half of the Earth there will be a day lasting about 182 days, while another hemisphere will remain in the pitch darkness.
It will be very hot on the sunny side and very cold on the shaded. It will have devastating consequences for plants and animals. Something similar can be seen on the poles, where there are several weeks of permanent night, and then a few weeks of permanent day, but this is not a comparison with the 6 months of the night, and then 6 months of the day.
This may seem insignificant compared to other changes, but the Earth will become an almost perfect sphere. Currently, our planet revolves around its axis, spending one turn around about 24 hours. This rotation leads to the fact that the Earth is drawn up at the equator, turning into a flexible spheroid. Without this rotation, due to the presence of gravity, the Earth will turn into, almost an ideal form, the sphere. It seems absolutely harmless, but in fact it is a big problem. Due to changes in the shape of the Earth, the water of the World Ocean will redistribute, thereby causing floods in many regions of the planet. Ultimately, the ocean will absorb most of the surface of the planet.
What happens if the earth stops? This is not such a simple question as it seems. The answer depends on what and how it stops. Options may be somewhat - a sudden stopping of rotation around the axis, the same, but smoothly, and finally - stop in space, that is, the cessation of the movement around the Sun. Due to the not enough question, consider all three options.
