Avatar State Szeto's Lavabending

^The Feat

Being blunt, there's only one way to scale this as this is the only shot/frame of reference for those volcanoes we ever get in the series.

Ergo, we'll resort to IRL values to derive a value because we can't really scale this any other way.

According to here? Cinder Cone Volcano range from a base diameter of 250-2,500 meters (average was given as 800 meters), a crater diameter of 50-600 meters, and elevation of 50-300 meters.

Keeping that in mind, The goal is to use parameters that encompass, at the bear minimum, 3 measures that fall within the ranges provided. For our purposes, we're required to use the base diameter to accommodate this.

I'm only going for a low end (250 meters) and middle end (the average, 800 meters). Can't really endorse the high end. At least the pair I'm choosing are either conservative or have a solid probability of being representative of the average respectively.

Also just lazy, but you already know that. *shrugs*

Azula's Lightningbending vs Iroh's Redirection

^The Feat

Zuko = 107 pixels
Half Structure = 289 pixels
Structure = 578 pixels

Structure/Zuko = 5.402

Zuko = 1.6 meters (here)
Structure = 8.643 meters

Believe it or not, the bit I measure more or less lines up with where Iroh redirects her Lightning.

Mind you, it's drawn with so much less detail than the later shot and the boat isn't facing the right direction, but the general location appears spot on if you take note of his position from this angle here.

Structure (light blue line) = 14 pixels
Half Rock Formation (light green line) = 115 pixels

Half Rock Formation/Structure = 8.214

Half Rock Formation = 70.994 meters

Half Rock Formation = 734 pixels

Volume = (2/3)PIr1^2r2

r1 = Crater Diameter/2
r2 = Crater Depth

Crater Volume = 1,076.037 m^3

8 j/cc

Azula's Lightningbending Yield = 8,608,296,000 joules or 2.057 tons

As far as speed for Iroh is concerned? It's kind of hard to say what percentage of its speed he moved. Like, she fires it off for a bit, Iroh then proceeds to get in front of Zuko fast enough to intercept it? Maybe run up the ramp as he's channeling it and catch her hand? Or had he already gotten up the ramp?
Avatar State Kyoshi Creates Kyoshi Island

Unagi Eye = 62 pixels
Unagi Partial Body Length = 918 pixels

Unagi Partial Body Length/Unagi Eye = 14.806

Unagi Eye = 6.616 meters (here)
Unagi Partial Body Length = 97.956 meters

Now, bear with me, but given what we know about large snakes like Cobra? It'd be pretty fair to say what we're seeing above water is probably only about 1/3rd the Unagi's full body length.

Thus?

Full Unagi Length = 293.868 meters

YQ0CkjR.png

Not ideal, but the shadow underwater does convey the Unagi's full length at any rate. Its hard to see due to the lighting, but you can see it if you pay attention to the brightened background.

Unagi = 136 pixels
Bay = 1440 pixels

Bay/Unagi = 10.588

Bay = 3,111.474 meters

Circle Surface Area = PIr^2

r = Bay/2

Bay Surface Area = 7,599,797.305 m^2

We'll need that in a second.

Ok0Rp57.png

Bay = 85 pixels
Island Length = 275 pixels
Island Width 1 = 297 pixels
Island Width 2 = 142 pixels

Island Length/Bay = 3.118
Island Width 1/Bay = 3.494
Island Width 2/Bay = 1.671

Island Length = 9,701.576 meters
Island Width 1 = 10,871.49 meters
Island Width 2 = 5,199.273 meters

It's vaguely shaped like an ellipse.

Ellipse Surface Area = PIr1r2

r1 = Island Length/2
r2 = (Island Width 1)/2

Island Surface Area = 82,794,410.378 m^2

Now subtract the bay's surface area.

Total Island Surface Area = Island Surface Area - Bay Surface Area = 75,194,613.073 m^2

Island Width 2 = 1505 pixels
Distance (Start) = 336 pixels
Distance (End) = 647 pixels
Distance = Distance (End) - Distance (Start) = 311 pixels

Distance/Island Width 2 = 0.207

Distance = 1,076.25 meters

Time Frame = 0.042 seconds (24 FPS, 1 Frame; here and here)

Avatar State Kyoshi's Earthbending Speed = 25,625 m/s or mach 75.303

Now for the meat of the feat.

yhQo2hN.png
jR8gaRZ.png

Panel Width = 1440 pixels
Island Width 1 (Start) = 862 pixels
Island Width 1 (End) = 477 pixels
Island Elevation = 39 pixels
Mountain Elevation = 91 pixels

Island Elevation/Island Width 1 (Start) = 0.045
Mountain Elevation/Island Width 1 (Start) = 0.106

Island Elevation = 489.217 meters
Average Ocean Depth = 3,682 meters (here, because the island would kind of just sink beneath the waves if Kyoshi wasn't being considerate of moving the depth of the rock with the rest of the island)

Thus?

Total Island Height = 4,171.217 meters

Volume 1 = Total Island Surface Area * Total Island Height = 313,653,048,358.52 m^3

Mountain Elevation = 1,152.378 meters

Treating the Topography like a cone to try and be conservative as possible given hell if I have enough info to find a fully on point above ocean mass.

Volume 2 = ((Total Island Surface Area)*H)/3 = 28,884,205,941.279 m^3

Thus?

Total Island Volume = Volume 1 + Volume 2 = 342,537,254,299.799 m^3
Rock Density = 2,700 m^3
Total Island Mass = 924,850,586,609,457.3 kilograms

Now angular size for the distance traveled from start to end point.

2*atan(Object_Size/(Panel_Width/tan(FoV/2))) = object degree size

2*atan(862/(1440/tan(70/2)))

2*atan(477/(1440/tan(70/2)))

Island Width 1 (Start) = 45.482 degrees
Island Width 1 (End) = 26.117 degrees

Calculator

Island Distance (Start) = 12,968 meters
Island Distance (End) = 23,346 meters
Distance = Island Distance (End) - Island Distance (Start) = 10,378 meters

Time Frame = 1.958 seconds (47 Frames, 24 FPS; here and here)

Island Speed = 5,300.306 m/s

KE = 0.5mv^2

m = Total Island Mass
v = Island Speed

Avatar State Kyoshi's Bending Yield = 12,991,026,454,910,850,000,000 joules or 3.105 teratons

Probably could do something with her Avatar State Airbending Speed, but I honestly can't tell if its new air or its just rushing that far into the distance that ridiculously fast. The shifting occurs every 2 frames or so, so the speed would be pretty ridiculous.

Rock Height = 646 pixels
Hole Height = 607 pixels
Hole Diameter = 783 pixels

Hole Height/Rock Height = 0.94
Hole Diameter/Rock Height = 1.212

Hole Height = 9.237 meters
Hole Diameter = 11.91 meters

Volume = (PIr1r2*H)/2

r1 = Hole Height
r2 = Hole Diameter/2
H = Rock Thickness

Hole Volume = 152.684 m^3

200 j/cc

Azula's Lightningbending Yield = 30,536,800,000 joules or 7.298 tons

I do high school physics for stupid shit because I find it fun for some ridiculous reason.

I'm neither a physicist or engineer. I study psychology.

Before taking me at my word, think for yourself and don't just appeal to the shit I'm posting without evaluating it yourself. That should go without saying. I'm not an expert, do not treat me like one.
