I suspect the wiggles in all the hand-drawn lines are actually more than the changes in height of the various mountains, and almost certainly not correlated to the actual changes in height, since this is all unknown.

:We can't expect everyone to be scientifically literate enough to understand measuring things with the planck length, superior though it may be. Besides, these are American mountains, so they're measured in American units.

:It's pretty common to measure things in years. And while measuring in 20 year gaps isn't normal, I wouldn't call it retarded, especially when they're probably chosen for a good visual spacing.

:All twentyish attoparsecs, you mean? (Yanks like using measures that give them bigger numbers. Feet instead of metres, inches instead of metres (or feet-and-inches), pounds instead of kilos (or stones-and-kilos), US gallons instead of UK ones, the wrong sort of billion/etc. :P ) [[Special:Contributions/162.158.159.76|162.158.159.76]] 11:22, 19 May 2020 (UTC) | :All twentyish attoparsecs, you mean?

::I think the graph should be labeled in seconds. I mean, gigaseconds for time and light microseconds for distance. -- [[User:Hkmaly|Hkmaly]] ([[User talk:Hkmaly|talk]]) 02:55, 20 May 2020 (UTC) | ::I think the graph should be labeled in seconds.

According to the wikipedia article, "The eruption ejected more than one cubic mile (4.2 km^3) of material." That's going to be billions of tonnes, rather than the thousands mentioned in the explanation. [[Special:Contributions/162.158.154.31|162.158.154.31]] 15:23, 19 May 2020 (UTC) I don't think I'm going to be able to contribute here any more if I keep having to provide free training for Google's image recognition of weird American street scenes. What's a "crosswalk" and what does it look like anyway? | According to the wikipedia article, "The eruption ejected more than one cubic mile (4.2 km^3) of material."

: A "crosswalk" is a "{{w|pedestrian crossing}}" in other types of English).
