This is when earthquakes and severe storms happen together. The first recorded 'air quake' was sometimes around 1750 - severe storms and earthquakes hit England simultaneously, according to Joseph F Goodavage. He goes on to say this peculiar event is due to planet and star conjunctions, especially with Jupiter being rather close to Earth. Air quakes are said to start with a grand showing of the Northern Lights, followed by storms with wind speeds up to 160kmph and then a series of earthquakes.

EzraAn air quake forms when a sudden temperature change causes the ground to rapidly heat up or cool down. This can lead to the air near the ground expanding or contracting, creating pressure waves that travel through the atmosphere. The disturbance from these pressure waves can then be felt as a seismic-like event.

How big does a quake on the ricter scale have to be to trigger a tsunami?
A big quake on the ricter scale should be more than 8.2 to trigger a tsunami.
How does the quake compare with others?
The quake's magnitude, depth, location, and impact determine how it compares with other quakes. It's important to consider factors like infrastructure resilience and population density in affected areas to understand the true impact of a quake relative to others. Each quake is unique, and experts use various measures to evaluate and compare their significance.
