a: Earthquake ~
b: cracking rock
What: "An earthquake is like that cracking rock, but on a much larger scale. Often a break occurs in a place that has broken before, on what scientists call a fault - a break in the earth's surface between two blocks of rock that have moved past each other."

b: Earth having a really bad day

Heard All Over
a: Earthquake ~
b: hammer hitting the bell
What: "What is perhaps surprising to people is that a large earthquake with these megatons of energy can set the entire earth vibrating like a bell. So an earthquake is like the hammer hitting the bell and the entire planet then resonates with its natural frequencies for periods of weeks following the giant earthquake."

METAMIA is a free database of analogy and metaphor. Anyone can contribute or search. The subject matter can be anything. Science is popular, but poetry is encouraged. The goal is to integrate our fluid muses with the stark literalism of a relational database. Metamia is like a girdle for your muses, a cognitive girdle.
