    Earthquake Calculations Revision

    So, the Earthquake Calculations article's calculator for natural earthquakes uses a recently deleted calculator. I'm pretty sure we should update this.

    How to calc a character shaking a mountain?

    Planetary Quake energy?

    So I was wondering, if you survive being at the epicenter of a blast that creates a planetary quake that agitates the crust, where you just hop up off the ground backwards with no damage, what magnitude would that be?

    Significance of history and destructive potential in a certain level of forces

    Hello everyone! I have been sitting on this site for many years and vsb has become a place for me where I can have a great discussion with other people and have an interesting time with calculations. I wanted to write this thread a few months ago, but I couldn't get my thoughts together because...

    Earthquake Magnitude chart for opening chasm?

    I was wondering, what would be the use of the Earthquake magnitude chart be for if it is felt across the world with scattered occasions of chasms opening up in the earth where there is lava even?

    Infinity Blade earthquakes - do they check out?

    Would this and this count as an artificial Earthquake? Using the Richter scale, I'd rate it at a magnitude of 4-5 but I'm not sure

    Earthquake Question

    I have a question in regards to how we treat earthquakes which are physically impossible to create on our planet, but happen within fiction, with stated numbers and damage caused to the affected area. We're given a statement within Deadman Wonderland that Shiro's earthquake, dubbed the "Great...

    Gojo Calc Resolution/Earthquake Calcs

    This thread is being made to discuss what end of this calculation (assuming a 4.5 Richter scale equivalent) should be applied to the character's profiles. You can read my comment there raising some concerns about utilizing the low end (which is essentially just the radiated energy) for that calc...

    Question regarding earthquake calcs.

    In this page, Earthquake Calculations, it has you go to this site to get the first values for the Natural Earthquakes calc on the section of that page with the same name. The page says "Instead of looking at the 'Energy' section, one looks at the 'Seismic Effects' section again. There a value...

    Need help in deciding a method for a feat

Can we use the earthquake formula as there were clear depictions of tremors? If so, what magnitude is required to achieve...

    Earthquake via Meteor Crash Question

    To quote from the Earthquake Calculations page: 'This method should be used if an earthquake is caused through the impact of a meteor or through an event very similar to that.' What would be some clear examples of something very similar to this?

    Problem with Earthquake calcs

    Cutting it short, earthquakes take place far away from the surface, to the point that-/+ 1 km is a small margin of error compared to depth. Well, their hypocenter does. Our basis for the magnitudes, the description for them, is the description of what it's like on the surface, not the epicenter...

    Tier for shaking a courthouse or building

    I see this in a lot of cartoons and other series. Where someone quakes the building they are in. From average size to even larger scale like a courthouse. This feat as well specifically. When Phoenix Shakes the courthouse with enough force it breaks a stand. And is a common thing to do in the...

    New calculation for "shaking the world"

    Alright, so, since this is getting suprisingly little evaluation, I figured I would just make this thread and see what comments arise. In summary, as opposed to Island level as we rated it before, anyone who can shake the earth will be Large Country level, maybe higher depending on if the...

    Would causing an earthquake across the grounds of a castle be Town Level?

    A character throws a punch that causes tremors and shakes apart buildings across the Nagoya castle grounds in Japan. Would this be a Town-level feat? I don't know how big the Nagoya castle grounds are irl.

    I'm...still unsure how to handle this.
