I have a question Magnetar/Earthquake/Tsunami

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the possibility of a connection between a magnetar pulse on December 27 and an earthquake that occurred on December 26, which triggered a tsunami. It is noted that the magnetar's radiation traveled at the speed of light and could not have pushed anything ahead of it, as that would require a faster-than-light phenomenon. The earthquake off Sumatra is characterized as part of ongoing seismic and volcanic activity in the western Pacific, specifically within the Ring of Fire, and is considered a localized event. Ultimately, the two occurrences are viewed as coincidental, with no evidence suggesting a direct link between them.

Is it possible, that the wave of radiation from the Magnetar pulse of Dec 27, pushed something else out in front of it, that caused the earthquake, that caused the Tsunami, of Dec 26th? I see two intense events, happening at virtually the same time, is it possible that there is a connection between the two things? Try to not just kill me off, for asking such a thing, eh?

The disturbance of the magnetar traveled at the speed of light. It did not pushing anything before it. That would require something (like a gravity wave) traveling faster than the speed of light. But then why would the earthquake be so localized?

The earthquake off Sumutra seems to be just a continuation of some seismic and volcanic activity in the western Pacific (Ring of Fire), with the extension into the Indian Ocean parallel with Indonesia.

The two events are coincidental with no apparent dependence of the former with the latter.
 
Hello, I’m currently writing a series of essays on Pangaea, continental drift, and Earth’s geological cycles. While working on my research, I’ve come across some inconsistencies in the existing theories — for example, why the main pressure seems to have been concentrated in the northern polar regions. So I’m curious: is there any data or evidence suggesting that an external cosmic body (an asteroid, comet, or another massive object) could have influenced Earth’s geology in the distant...
On August 10, 2025, there was a massive landslide on the eastern side of Tracy Arm fjord. Although some sources mention 1000 ft tsunami, that height represents the run-up on the sides of the fjord. Technically it was a seiche.
