I kept thinking about this last night and wound up looking it up. Seems like a nuclear bomb could cause one…but only a minor one - smaller than the bomb itself.
Goes to show just how powerful an earthquake is if even our strongest explosives doesn’t come close!
Interesting thought experiment!
Even a monster motor mounted to bedrock isn’t going to produce the force of tectonic plates. Think of the masses involved.
