A tsunami warning has been issued for Hawaii, where waves set off by an 8.8-magnitude earthquake in Russia’s remote Far East are expected to arrive after 7 p.m. local time.
An explosion or explosions enough to set off a fault would be quite noticeable. A nuke has radiation that would quickly be sensed. And just predicting fault movement is still fairly impossible much less knowing how to cause fault movement.
You wouldn’t detect any radiation if they detonated nukes near an underwater faultline. Water blocks radiation really well. They would notice it via seismic sensors since earthquakes look different than nukes when it comes to seismic waves.
Oh… You’d notice it pretty quick when all the radioactive remnants from the bomb are vaporized into fine dust and spread out into the ocean in a constantly spreading plume.
I bet people would notice real quick.
Edit: autocorrect had turned “vaporized” into “baptized”, that made for a real confusing sentence… 🙄
