That's not really how black holes work. They evaporate really quickly when they're small enough. And if they're small, they don't have much gravity either.

But it will still be pulled down by earth's gravity. And depending on the size, it's not going to just evaporate if it has a planet's gravity pushing rock and metal into it.

A high speed black hole would just punch through the earth, but if it just falls down, it would destroy the planet.
