So you're saying it's not news to you that a rock concert could cause an earthquake? Because it's sure as hell news to me. Does it matter who was playing at the concert?
For what it’s worth this is super common at that venue. Not trying to take anything away from the story, it was really surprising to me when I learned it also.
Did they say it did? They said could.
And if it registers high enough on the Rochester scale, what else would we call it when it reaches high enough?
Words can have more than one definition… you’re looking at what constitutes a Natural Disaster Earthquake, there’s also just the definition, earthquake….
And yes, seismic activity l absolutely can shake buildings and crack pavement… you’re now contradicting yourself? Do you even know what point you’re arguing anymore?
She didn’t, she caused seismic activity, that when high enough on the Richter scale would constitute an earthquake.
You tried correcting someone and were wrong mate, this is entirely on you lmfao. If you can’t take it, don’t fucking dish it you mook.
Go back and read the comments again… lmfao. They never said she caused an earthquake, they key word you completely missed was “could”. They also never in fact mentioned her at all in the comment even! As I said you don’t even know what you’re arguing anymore.
There’s just trolls everywhere isn’t there?
But it can…? Not a natural disaster like you’re claiming, but again, words have more than one definition sometimes…
You need to go read a book apparently lmfao.
From Britannia on the definition of earthquake.
earthquake, any sudden shaking of the ground caused by the passage of seismic waves through Earth’s rocks. Seismic waves are produced when some form of energy stored in Earth’s crust is suddenly released, usually when masses of rock straining against one another suddenly fracture and “slip.”
People jumping up and down, fit that definition, and they actually specify that it’s not “just” masses of rock (tectonic plates)
TYL, you are welcome, go read some books and “touch grass”.
You can’t explain it, because you’re wrong…
Go argue with Britannia or something, they clearly state it’s not just tectonic movement like you claimed…. what do you have to say about that mook?
I am sorry you thought that a natural disaster was the only defintion of the word “earthquake”, you’re everything wrong with todays education system. Read more, please.
