The ground begins to shake. People start to panic, and someone inevitably shouts that it must be an earthquake. Which would be bad enough, except... Cut outside. It's actually being caused by an incoming fleet of Battle Mech. Or a descending alien mothership. Or the villain's Death Ray rising out of the ground. Or an Animal Stampede. Or a Sand Worm. Or a catfish. Or someone's noisy tummy. But most definitely not an earthquake. In short, this trope covers any time a character explicitly wonders or exclaims that there is an earthquake, but in reality the shaking has a non-seismic cause. Compare Bad Vibrations, however this trope is only in effect if a character explicitly mistakes the vibrations for an earthquake. It can sometimes manifest as a case of It's Probably Nothing, however characters will often still panic in response to it, just not quite enough. Note that this trope does NOT apply if the tremors really are caused by an earthquake. The exception would be the Inversion: A character mistakes the tremors as having an outside cause, but it's actually a normal earthquake. Not to be mistaken for Quake. Nor for the other Quake. |

Abraxas (Hrodvitnon): There are a couple times where Thor or the Many respectively moving underground through Russia or Asia causes seismic disturbances which are initially reported as sudden earthquakes, although in the post-Mass Awakening world it doesn't take people long to twig what the true cause is. | |

Little did they know that the earth tremors were actually caused by a ghoul priest trying to release a Cthulhu Mythos monster related to the Great Old One Shudde M'ell! Terror from the Stars adventure "The Temple of the Moon". The earthquakes at the archeological dig site are not natural: they're caused when the bottom of the pool inside the Temple slides back to reveal a long shaft downward. The Fungi from Yuggoth adventure "Mountains of the Moon". The earthquakes near the NWI facility in Peru are actually caused by the nearby mining activity of the Mi-go. |

Near the end of the 2010 NFC Wild Card Game with the New Orleans Saints visiting the Seattle Seahawks with the latter holding a small 34-30 lead, Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch rolled off a 67-yard touchdown run, breaking at least four different attempts by Saints defenders to tackle him en route. The fans at what was then Qwest Field, already with a reputation of being among the loudest stadiums in the world, cheered so loudly at the insurance touchdown that nearby seismic stations mistook the shaking for a magnitude-two earthquake; combined with Lynch's nickname of "Beast Mode", "Beast Quake" became the signature play of the Seahawks' 41-36 victory. | |

Dragon Ball Z: During the Namek Saga, Bulma tries to rationalize the ruckus being created by Vegeta and Frieza as "only an earthquake." In the Saiyaman Saga, Gohan tries to get out of class to go superhero-ing, but his teachers have caught on to his habit of "going to the toilet" and then not returning, so they make him stay. In irritation, he begins tapping his foot... which causes enough shaking that the class panics and hides under their desks due to the "earthquake". Smiling, Gohan leaves in the confusion. |
