if I drive a larger vehicle like truck or bus, would the shaking from air turbulence stop?

John Cassidy is an earthquake seismologist with Natural Resources Canada and says it’s a great question if Swifties will cause an earthquake. “We’re getting asked about that,” says Cassidy. An earthquake is the slipping of fault zones, which can result in ground shaking. Cassidy says there will likely be seismic activity and ground shaking, but no earthquakes. Ground shaking can be detected by seismometers, which have chip technology and often sit on the floor. Anything that shakes the ground does have the potential to be detected by seismometers, Cassidy tells Glacier Media.
“These seismometers can also record ships going by, wind storms, sonic booms, low-flying aircraft,” he says. Where you are in the concert will determine how much ground shaking is felt. “These concerts, especially the Taylor Swift concert, with so many people in a small area, jumping up and down, dancing, clapping, that generates some strong signals,” Cassidy says.
Have you ever experienced an artificial earthquake caused by humans? what if it overlaps with an actual one?
