If you got 10,000,000 people to jump at the same time in one are then yes. It would cause a tidel wave on the other side of the ocean. If this is done in California then it would effect China and that area.

If each and absolutely everyone on earth were to bounce jointly, the reaction will be very comparable to if a million mosquitoes jumped on a operating locomotive - no longer something. The earth's mass is way too large to be altered by utilizing that.

no the earth weight is so massive a 1000 trillion metric tons, compared to 250 million tons of the combined weight of all the living persons on earth today. but of course earth will be shaken if these people will jump from an airplane 15 thousand feet from the earth surface, but the tremor will only be limited to a distant, it will not cause a tilting effect on earth's own axis,

Possible. You can feel tremors or shakings in the ground when a heavy railway vehicle crosses you. This is very highly localised. When compare to the total mass of our earth, the total mass of human being living in the world is very negligible. Thus the above said action may not cause earth quake.

yes we can, It happened in the year 23,87,876,234 BC when the whole of the people of antartica jumped to celebrate the crowning of the Eskimo king Coolcazaar Icetomolo, The whole techtonic plate of the antartica broke ionto two halves and the first half drifted southward creating australia and further split and folded into himalayas and srilanka, The earth shook so voilently that the closet moon we had got scared and left orbit for good to join the uranus.

No two people can jump in the same place at the same time.

the earth is very big and we are very small. even if everyone in China jumped off a chair at one time it would not be detectable at any distance.

depends on what you accept as "earthquake" in terms of "Richter-scale" measurement
100,000,000 people at 150 lbs at the sdame time would definitley be "felt" as earth-tremble ...

I think it's possible but im not totally sure about it. The results would probably be tragic though!!!

Not a good idea. We'd all step on each others toes. :|
