How a mighty volcanic eruption sent enormous pressure waves all around Earth
They circled the globe.
mashable.com...
Located in the South Pacific, the eruption was one of the most powerful ever captured on satellite. The size and fury of the resulting plume made a jaw-dropping scene on Earth's surface and amazed scientists. Unfortunately, the eruption has had disastrous and deadly local consequences: A tsunami nearly 50 feet high pummeled some of Tonga's populated islands.
The historic eruption was also energetic enough to create powerful shock or pressure waves that rippled through the atmosphere and all over the globe. It's not too different than a rock tossed in water.
"Think of the ripples that you see when you throw a rock into a calm pond," explained Ryan Torn, chair and professor at the University at Albany Department of Atmospheric and Environmental Sciences. "Immediately, you see circular ripples, which are waves emanating from where the rock enters the pond."
When the Tonga volcano erupted, these waves (also technically called "acoustic gravity waves") traveled through the air at around the speed of sound, 343 meters per second, or some 760 mph. The blast's wave of energy knocked against air molecules, and they bump into each other. The animation below shows the global event well.
This only supports the FLAT Earth, NOT a ball Earth.
You automatically believe their claims are true, while they're NOT proven as true, or NOT true, but you just ASSUME it is true, because they TOLD US THAT IT IS TRUE, by simply saying so.
I don't know if it IS true, or not, and neither do YOU know it.
If your not a troll, your the densest person I know.
YouTuber Successfully Completes Flat-Earther’s $100,000 Challenge, Flat-Earther Refuses To Pay
Australian YouTuber Wolfie6020 uses his channel to explain the multitude of reasons why the concept of a flat Earth is nothing but balderdash. Obviously, providing factual information on the Internet is a sure way to attract people who believe in the weirdest things.
So Wolfie6020 was given a challenge by fellow YouTuber Flat Out Hero. He had to prove you can fly from point A to point B to point C, and then back to point A, with the distance between each point being the same and by taking a 90-degree turn at every point. The bet was worth $100,000.
“It’s impossible, but don’t tell the globetards that! This is the final nail in the ball Earth coffin, and I am happy to be the one to hammer it in!!!” Flat Out Hero stated in his boisterous comment.
Such a shape is impossible to draw on a flat plane because an equilateral triangle, as described by the flat-Earther, would not have angles bigger (or smaller) than 60 degrees. But on the surface of a sphere, the shape is perfectly feasible.
Having nothing to lose and $100,000 to gain, Wolfie6020 took on the challenge and shared his flight plan in a video posted at the end of October, which has now been watched more than 5.7 million times. The flight path goes from the Galapagos to the Gulf of Guinea in Africa, then all the way to the North Pole, and back down to the Galapagos. Each leg is about 10,000 kilometers (6,215 miles) or roughly one-quarter of the length of the equator.
The video showed Woflie6020 first listing the conditions of the bet as put forward by Flat Out Hero and concluded with these words: “Mr Flat Out Hero, your challenge has been answered. The requirements, as you stated them, have been satisfied! It is now your turn to honor your challenge and pay me the $100,000. I plan to give half of that to the Westmead Children's Hospital and use the other half as prize money in future contests on this channel. So let's see if you're a man of your word and will honor your challenge!”

The earth doesn`t move at all and no proof of any curvature.
Here`s another video which will educate those of you who are still clinging to the ball.
And another chance to collect Bitcoins for ONE proof ....
