go there :D

thanks! I’m a girl by the way

oh whoops :D

Well there’s a very simple test to see the dynamic. Take a glass of water. Hold it up. Tap to the bottom of the glass/cup with a finger. Now you’ll see the waves on the water.
Think about the energy of the earthquake comparing it to the energy that revealed when you hit the glass with the finger. Think about the size of the ocean and the ground that breakes. Compare them to the amount of water in the glass and the size of the glass…
There you go, you just created a tsunami for a microscobic human-being.

thanks!
