A Question About Earthquakes, Speed and Lifting Strength (Needs Answers)

205

It has been said that Loki from the Magnus Chase series (and mythology) caused earthquakes on Earth while writhing in his cave. Based on this, is there a way to calculate or estimate how much Ls Loki would need to have to cause, say, a magnitude 4 earthquake? Or is this only scalable to AP?

Also, can I scale the attack speed of a character who creates real/natural earthquakes to the speed of the seismic waves?
 
LS depends. Did he move the tectonic plates or did his screaming just cause seismic waves? As for attack speed, it's not exactly common for seismic waves to be added as an attack speed value, but I don't see why they couldn't be

Well, in the dictionary, it only said that "his writhing can cause earthquakes". There is also this in the second book:
As we watched, venom filled it to the brim and the woman turned to empty it, tossing the contents into one of the boiling pools behind her. She moved quickly, but poison still splattered Loki’s face. He writhed and screamed. The cavern shook. I thought the ceiling would collapse on top of us, but somehow it held. Maybe the gods had fashioned this chamber to endure the shaking, just as they’d fashioned Loki’s bonds never to break, the snake never to run dry, and the woman’s cup never to be big enough.
So likely it is his physical movements, not his voice. I also don't think he moves tectonic plates. Or at least, since there were only two sentences about this, I couldn't find any evidence for it. Maybe he creates seismic waves by physical movements, but I'm not so sure.
