High 6-A

[MinatoSparkle]

High 6-A, otherwise known as multi-continent level, is quite a large tier, with the baseline and limit being separated by over 6000x, and I don't understand why. With Solar Sytem levels, I get it. Space is a weird thing, but a continent is a pretty large part of the Earth, and it seems really strange that it takes more than 6000x more energy to destroy a planet than to destroy several continents. Anyone care to explain? Even considering thickness, continents are pretty thick too.

The upper border of High 6-A / lower border of 5-C is the energy needed to destroy the Moon actually.

And it isn't that absurd, when you consider how small the surface actually is.

It's merely 70 km, while the radius of the Moon is 1737 km

But isn't the surface area of Asia ven larger than the Moon's? That makes me feel unsure that the Moon is 6000x larger than it. Is there a calc for this?

 

[Kaltias]

That's because we are talking about the energy needed to overpower the Moon's GBE, not simply fragmentating it.

GBE is >>> destruction values that aren't subatomization. Pulverizing Earth is 5-C instead of 5-B for example

Asia is definitely not 70km wide. That's, like, the distance between the districts in my town. More like 7,000km.

@Kep I was talking about the thickness of the continental crust (horrible wording on my part tbh)
