Can you cause tremors while in the air?

As the title says, are you able to make the ground or structures shake like an earthquake when the source of it is in the air? If so, what would the formula be for that?

If so, what would the pressure be?

The way I got it is finding the energy of the earthquake in tons and then do a reverse inverse square law from the area of the earthquake to get the total energy from the source of the shockwave.

Would that sound right?

Yup, that's how you do it, iirc.
 
Thanks, much needed, one more question, what would the magnitude rate be for tremors that are noticeable or shaky but don’t cause any damage?
It depends. It is neatly explained here, btw:
