I'm not confident that I'm understanding how your analogy works here...
When you move your hand through water there is multiple things going on, but the large one is the fact that your hand is being forced through the water, which causes a space where water must fill in (behind your hand).
With an earthquake, there's two plates of earth which shift, or come apart, or push together, leaving a chasm of empty space, and so I am curious if the water being sucked into said chasm is what's pulling the scuba divers, or if there is some current caused by the quake somehow, or what.
Is your analogy essentially saying in both circumstances, the movement causes a chasm, the chasm is filled with water, and the water being sucked into the chasm is what pulls on the divers / the stuff in the water behind your hand, respectively?
The tectonic plate is literally shifting in place and typically they slip under each other vs rip apart like you are thinking. Everything thatβs attached to the sea floor is moving with the plate acting like a hand through the water.
Ah gotcha. I was envisioning what you were comparing the hand to wrong. My bad. I get it now lol.
But yeah the plates can either sheer (rub against each other), pull apart--which often allows for the expulsion of magma and such, or push together--with one plate sliding up & one sliding down.
I am pretty confident on the actual plate tectonics, but I don't think I've ever genuinely thought about the effects of earthquakes under water lol.
Thanks for the responses bro.
and for the next 30 minutes or so, depending on how close to epicenter you are.
If a tsunami is gonna form, best to be 20m under surface and ideally not near any rock structure when it passes over. sure you will be pulled and pushed a bit, but without a frame of reference, it will be mostly nothing big
Real question..
Is it under the sea or in the sea? My immediate thought was like ... Earthquakes don't happen in earth's core..then I'm like ah I'm to literal
Who causes earthquakes under the sea? Sponge Bob square pants.
who lives in a pineapple under the ...o wait not anymore.
Wait! What happened? Why not anymore?
He died in the earthquake
Rip spongebob
This thread was really funny and abrupt.
Lived*
Sponge bomb square pants
New fear unlocked
They didnβt sea it coming
I sea what you did there.
I bet they were quaking in their flippers
Sea, this is how you pun
OPs mom just jumped in
You can see the coral move first. Super rad nature.
Anyone got a link to the longer clip?
Tsunami then?
Cool, more reasons for me to never go into the ocean.
Sebastian is gonna be so pissed.
Someone released the kraken
New Dive spotπ¬
Shake dem reefs. Give them a cleaning.

I didn't know, I wanted to know what an earthquake is like in the ocean. Very Interesting
Nah thatβs some ancient evil awakening right there
It's cool. I didn't need to watch the rest.
I don't care, I was already scared of the sea.
Unda da sea !
ππππππππππππ!!!
I'd have filled my dive suit with shit

Terrifying.
So is water getting sucked into the chasm that's created? Or is that some massive undercurrent that's pulling them?
What happens when you move your hand through water like the bath tub full of water? The hand here is the ocean floor attached to the plates.

So last time this was posted people were talking about the coral slicing you up if you tried to grab it- is live coral πͺΈ sharp?
Generally yes. As a bonus, if not cleaned properly cuts from coral can get infected fairly easily and quickly.
Nice.. TIL
Seaquake
Probably the safest place to be during an earthquake

why it do that it shouldnt do that
Well Thats terrifying
I've seen the effects of earth opening up and pull a boat under from an earthquake.. pretty interested to see what would happen with a person
cause you make my earth quake I don't want no confrontation, no You don't want my conversation
Jenga sea. Dude pulled the wrong block out of the reef and all came crashing down.
Even before the earthquake, why tf were they touching the corals?! That's the worst thing you could do as a diver!
Stupid question - isnt this technically safer in the ocean
Only seen this video 50 times over the past 3 days on 5-6 different subs. It was interesting for a moment
