There are a lot of questions about a small BH and the Earth, none of these answer my question specifically. And there are contradictory answers. Some of them state that the effects would be negligible, since the small BH could only eat very little. Others state that the effects would destroy Earth. My question is about the miniature BH passing through Earth at relativistic speed,and whether the Earth would stay in one piece.
I have read these questions:
What would the effect be of a small black hole colliding with the earth?
However, the gravitational effects from the black hole would be catastrophic.
If the moon became a black hole, how much would it eat in a day?
For example, if you got within a kilometer of this millimeter-sized thing your body would be torn apart by tidal forces. This is not what most people think of as completely normal.
How fast a (relatively) small black hole will consume the Earth?
If we take that at face value, it would take something like $10^{23}$ years for the BH to accrete $10^{24}kg$. If we factor in the change in radius of the BH, that time is probably much smaller, but even then it would be something much larger than the age of the universe.
What would happen if somebody dropped a small black hole into the Earth?
If the black hole is sufficiently light (much lighter than the Earth), it will tear a decent hole into the Earth, sink into its core (slowed down by the "accretion friction"), and may live there for a prolonged time accreting at the BHL rate before triggering some sort of instability in Earth's structure.
Now my question involves the relativistic speed.
There are a few factors to consider:
The BH would eat very little in such a short time, since the interaction is very fast because of the relativistic speed.
Anything that gets in the way of the singularity (anything that the singularity passes through), stays in there forever.
Because of the relativistic speed, the (stress) energy of the BH would be enormous, its gravitational effects would pull Earth with it, and the tidal forces would tear Earth apart.
The BH would just drill a hole through the Earth (because of the short interaction), or it would destroy it (enormous stress-energy).
Like when you shoot a bullet through glass, it just makes a hole, because of its speed, but the glass stays intact, so the Earth would stay intact too, or the energy of the BH would actually tear the Earth apart.
Just to clarify, the mass of the BH should be the mass of the moon, and it should come to a size of 1mm, that is the radius (EH).
For consideration, we can treat the Earth as a gravitational cloud of dust, if that is easier to model.

- What would happen if a miniature black hole (or a PBH) would pass through Earth at relativistic speed?
