2) Hell, there is more ocean between Solitas and Anima, than between Solitas and Vytal. I think the risk of the tsunami hitting Vale is greater than that of the tsunami hitting Argus.

3) I was thinking of using the portal to land it on the ocean. Having said portal open near the surface of the water or under the water (if that's possible), would do sth to reduce the magnitude of the tsunami. 1) True, forgot the rest of the map.

2) Yes, there's less ocean between Solitas and Vytal. But Vale is not located in Vytal, it's in Sanus. With at least half a continent's worth of landmass between it and Solitas. And a whole mountain range between the two if that's not enough.

A tsunami starting near or around Solitas has better chances of hitting Vacuo. And even then it's pretty likely to miss the actual Kingdom.

3) Ok, but, that's basically asking fot Atlas to evolve into Atlantis. It'd be an awful joke, and in hindsight if Atlas fell into the ocean, tsunami or not, Argus or not, Atlas is done for.

Artificial islands exist, but those require a huge fucking ton of sand if you want anything bigger than a tiny facility. Floating islands also exist, but those either are in shallow water, or are very small and not supporting much weight relatively.

Atlas, meanwhile, is a huge piece of rock supporting a big and advanced city. If it falls into the ocean I really doubt it would have enough buoyancy to float, especially since if it starts to fall, we can assume that whatever kept it in the air is not going to help it stay on the water's surface.
