Yeeh sorry , i think the right terminology is indeed shock wave
Kenzo Sir... as long as we're a good-safe distance from that thing, then I'd be happy to quibble about terminology!
Pressure wave or shock wave, the sight of that made me appreciate the concept of running!
Aye, it is called a "shock wave", but it is measured in PSI ("pounds per square inch" of overpressure), a gauge of pressure, so "pressure wave" is also accurate.
I told my sister to get her ass inland (she is on the coast), because if it blows and that scree slope slips underwater, it'll send a megatsunami across the Atlantic that would have potential to destroy New York City, DC, Baltimore, and all points on the east coast, but she seemed uninterested, said she was tired of living in this screwed up world anyhow. Kids these days! Ya just can't tell 'em nothin'!

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
