User blog:ThePerpetual/Request 11: STRW makes Vancouver Sad

Saturn Black's mom apparently punched a mountain in Vancouver at one point so hard that an entire half of it just kinda got turned into a big hole, not even really fragments left over. That sounds a lot like pulverization to me

The first result that turns up when I search "vancouver mountains" is the North Shore Mountains, whose summit is 1788 meters. However, since I'm working with mountains in this case that are very obviously broader than my usual assumption of a 45 degree slope, I'll use the still-lowballed 30 degrees for a more accurate volume.

Mountain radius: 1788 * √3 = 3096.91 meters

Volume of Half this Mountain: 17957800000 / 2 = 8978900000 cubic meters, or 8.9789e+15 cubic centimeters.

Pulverization of Stone is 214 J/cc, so

8.9789e+15 * 214 = 1.92148e+18 Joules, or 459.245 Megatons of TNT. Mountain level: About ~4.6 times baseline, and ~46% of baseline Small Island.

Punching in a mountain is Mountain level? Who ever would've guessed.

Final Result
That Was Fast: 459.245 Megatons of TNT
