The Norwegian Seismological Institute's measuring station in Bergen recorded ground vibrations while Erling Haaland scored his first two World Cup goals in Norway's opening match, according to reports from the institute cited by Reuters. The institute explains that the tremors were likely caused by the jumping, movement, and cheering of fans watching the game in Bergen. The events follow preliminary reports of minor seismic activity during the goals — which The Zioneer first reported at 22:42 Jerusalem. The institute's official confirmation provides an on-record assessment that the source was crowd energy rather than a natural seismic event.
