Scotland fans shook the earth in win over Denmark

The Tartan Army shook the world as they celebrated the Scots qualifying for the World Cup for the first time in 28 years.

The British Geological Survey (BGS) recorded the equivalent of an “extremely small earthquake” following Kenny McLean’s strike on Denmark goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel to seal a 4-2 win.

The second significant seismic activity occurred a few minutes after the final whistle blew on Wednesday night.

The readings were recorded at the BGS station at the Glasgow Geothermal Observatory in Dalmarnock, located about 2 km (1.2 mi) from Hampden Park.

A minor ripple was also detected when Kieran Tierney curled in Scotland’s third, three minutes into injury time.

However, BGS said the main peak of activity occurred between 21:48 and 21:50. McLean scores from the halfway line.

An official attendance of 49,587 was recorded for the match.

BGS said the activity registered between -1 and zero on the Richter Scale and produced the equivalent of 200 kW, enough for 25 to 40 car batteries.

This is also the same as throwing a football at approximately 900 m/s (2,013 mph).

This was nearly 15 times faster than the fastest speed the ball has ever been kicked, estimated at 58 m/s by Brazilian defender Ronny Heberson in Sporting Club de Portugal’s win over Naval in 2007.

There were also Taylor Swift fans recorded to move the earth During a trio of gigs at Edinburgh’s Murrayfield Stadium last summer.

However, BGS said it was not possible to directly compare the two events due to “different field conditions”.

BGS said around 300 natural earthquakes occur in the UK every year, but only 30 of these are strong enough to be felt by humans.

There was an earthquake of magnitude 3.3 I felt it in houses in Perthshire last month.
