How can you tell the difference between an explosion and an earthquake on a seismogram?

Explosions and earthquakes both release a large amount of energy very quickly, and both can be recorded by seismic instruments. However, because the forces involved in each are very different, the waveforms that each creates look different.

Nuclear tests are very near the surface of the earth; all of the energy is released from a small volume surrounding the device. Earthquakes are typically several to many kilometers beneath the surface of the Earth; the energy is released from the fault surface, which can be several to many kilometers long, depending on the size of the fault. The differences in the depth and extent of the energy source produces differences in the waveforms that are recorded on a seismogram.

Lastly, nuclear explosions typically release energy between 2-50 kilotons of yield, compared to, for example, the M6.5 Afghanistan earthquake in May of 1998 that had an equivalent yield of 2,000 kilotons.

Last 6 years have been way worse than for Americans at home during WW I and II. Reason being is that the People were united then and NOT divided and at each other’s throats like we’ve been since 2016.

What’s worse is that those who know the truth have been treated like pariahs and even worse. Anon envies all those White Hats and operators their solid and healthy comradery and support, day in, day out, 24/7, 365, 6-years.

Anon is like a WW II Pacific plane spotter hidden alone on a remote island but without the two-way radio communication.

At least when Q was posting anons had that little boost in morale which kept us going. And fukk anyone’s with comments about muh feelz.

Anon can’t even imagine how those poor J6 bastards (and their families) are doing rotting away in that DC jail. NOTHING like this hell has ever happened to Americans on the home front in the entire history of the Republic.
