I mean being in a house is much worse because it's much easier to shake. The ground shaking so much you fall down? Just imagine it....yeah, thinking about it, me 2
altough i was inside my house, so i don't know if that had any effect on it
change my vot to either 5,5 or 6
The earthquake magnitude where people fall down from the shaking depends on a number of factors, including the intensity of the shaking, the duration of the shaking, and the distance of the person from the epicenter of the earthquake.
In general, people are more likely to fall down during an earthquake if the shaking is strong and prolonged. The shaking can cause people to lose their balance and fall, especially if they are standing on slippery or uneven surfaces. The shaking can also cause objects to fall from shelves or topple over, which can injure people.
The distance of the person from the epicenter of the earthquake is also a factor. The shaking is strongest near the epicenter and weakens with distance. So, people who are closer to the epicenter are more likely to fall down from the shaking.
According to the United States Geological Survey (USGS), people are more likely to fall down during an earthquake with a magnitude of 5.5 or higher. However, it is important to note that people can fall down during earthquakes of any magnitude, depending on the factors mentioned above.
That was Bard's answer. And when asked if the 5.5 was for falling inside a house or on the ground it answered:
The 5.5 earthquake magnitude where people are more likely to fall down is for both being inside a house or on the ground. However, the shaking will be stronger inside a house, so people are more likely to fall down if they are indoors.
The shaking from an earthquake can cause people to lose their balance and fall, especially if they are standing on slippery or uneven surfaces. The shaking can also cause objects to fall from shelves or topple over, which can injure people.
So 5.5 is the least possible but more than likely 6 considering how everyone there is at least above normal physical fitness and some couldn't even stand.
