Since the early 2000s, high-precision GPS has revealed 'slow slip events': faults that creep for days or weeks instead of seconds. They can release as much energy as a magnitude 6 quake or more, but so gradually that no one feels a thing. In some regions they recur like clockwork, about every 14 months.
On 27 August 1883, the eruption of the Indonesian volcano Krakatoa was heard as far away as Rodrigues Island, nearly 4,800 km away. Its pressure wave was picked up by barometers worldwide and circled the globe several times. The tsunamis that followed killed more than 36,000 people.
The deepest known point in the ocean, Challenger Deep, lies roughly 10,900 m below the Pacific surface. Drop Everest in and its summit would still sit about 2 km underwater. Down there, the pressure is more than 1,000 times what you feel at sea level, roughly a tonne pressing on every square centimetre.
