What would happen if the Earth stopped spinning for one minute?

If it stops by magic, does all the energy from Earth’s angular momentum also disappear by magic, or is it released as heat?

If the whole Earth stops by magic, with the angular momentum just vanishing and then reappearing, then the result is very minor. Every clock on Earth would need to be recalibrated against our satellites (unless they magically got paused as well). Siderial, solar, and atomic time would all be out of sync. Other than that, everybody would want to know: What the heck just happened? How did Earth magically stop and start again? But everybody is just fine.

If the oceans keep going, Earth’s surface is scoured clean by tsunamis moving at hundreds of miles per hour. Nearly everyone dies.

If Earth’s rotation is stopped by a collision, everyone dies. The planet is destroyed.

What is the reason behind the Russian government's negative view on foreign travel?

Does the whole planet (from core to atmosphere) stop spinning?

Does it stop due to a massive collision, or does it stop by magic?
