Shaking The Earth Reloaded

[Kulf_Boba]

What happened in the end, can the DMUA calculations for earth shaking be used or not?

Nothing. The calc is fine as it is.

But he did not give arguments against the OP

But he did not give arguments against the OP

(Btw. OP is wrong, because the formula actually takes earth curvature into account)

Specifically the (r/110)((2π)/360) is an angle conversion for Earth.

Bump

Anything else left to do here?

Wait a minute, so this part

This calculation is currently Small Country level, but it assumes the radius of the earthquake is half the circumference of the planet.

That's not how it'd work, though, because earthquakes/quakes (unless stated otherwise) travel radially from a centre point (presumably because that's just how conservation of ***** energy works) as per the inverse-square law, so the energy would be travelling through matter rather than somehow circumnavigating the planet through even more matter. The longest possible distance for the radiated energy, in that case, can only be a maximum of 12,742 km.

This is wrong?

 

[KLOL506]

More or less.

By wrong, I hear it's actually lowballed based on what DontTalkDT said?

 

[KLOL506]

He said our current Earth-shaking calc is fine as is, nothing about a low-ball.
