what would happen if a 100.0 earthquake hit the earth
>>
It'd make a lot of people mad.
>>
>>17007100
TND. The track and field records from sprint to marathon would be untouchable for centuries beyond.
>>
>>17007100
The earth would implode or something, trust me I'm an earthquake scientist

Earthquake magnitudes are like DBZ power levels, even when the number goes up 10x the actual power is still pretty much the same.

>>17007202
>>17007190
>>17007189
>>17007134
>>17007109
this is serious we should be preparing
>>
>>17007100
you would own nothing and you would be happy
>>
That would have nearly a googol times a 10.0 earthquake, probably rendering the components of the Earth no longer gravitationally bound
>>
>>17007223
how do we prevent it though
>>
>>17007229
You buy a bottle of my special Earthquake Repellent Spray from my etsy ($49.99) and dump it on the ground outside your house. It will only work if at least a hundred people do it though so tell your friends.
>>
>>17007236
thats not how that works
>>
>>17007100
2 magnitudes is about 1000 times more energy.
A baseline mag 8 EQ releases approximately 2.5e16 joules of energy. Upping that by a factor of 1000, 46 times arrives at 2.5e154 joules.
Mass of earth is 6e24kg, assume earth is made out of granite, it has a specific heat of 790 joules /kg
The temperature of earth would raise to approximately 5e126 kelvin, give or take couple of orders of magnitude for basic math errors on my part, likely creating some sort of big bang conditions birthing a new universe.
>>
>>17007237
That's exactly how it works.
>>
>>17007267
woa
>>
>>17007267
so you're saying the cosmic microwave background is the fault lines of the last 100.0 earthquake...

The shock wave would eject anything on the surface into space, probably anything lighter than a mountain would get thrown to escape velocity
Ripples of solid ground several miles thick would spread around the globe, obliterating any foundations and underground pipes
>>
>>17007408
this guy >>17007267 said the whole universe would explode though
>>
>>17007267
pretty sure I heard somebody calculate the atomic binding energy of Earth as something way lower
so basically everything would explode
>>
>>17007434
The energy is around the same if every proton and neutron in the universe weighted as much as the universe and all that matter was converted into energy, well there abouts anyways. So yes it's lot more than the binding energy of all the atoms on earth.
>>
>>17007100
It would be a quiet day. Globally, seismic networks track over 100,000 quakes annually.
