Would you feel an earthquake if you were in a plane?
Would you feel an earthquake if you were in a plane? Air travellers may only feel slight vibrations or shake in a minor or light earthquake. However, the shaking can be much more violent and jarring in a strong or significant earthquake. Air travelers may feel like the plane is bouncing up and down or being thrown from side to side.
What are the signs of a big earthquake coming?
Ground tilting, caused by the buildup of stress in the rocks, may precede a large earthquake, but not always. Water levels in wells fluctuate as water moves into or out of fractures before an earthquake. This is also an uncertain predictor of large earthquakes.
