and you won't be able to distinguish it so easily.

for finding, um, unambiguous lateral offset, if there is any.

is about about a metre,
大概有一米
maybe a little bit less than a metre to this wall,

probably at this location

just rose up like this.

maybe even more seconds to do that.

when you're standing here as an eyewitness

and seeing this thing just rise up like this

out of the ground and then this entire part of the village

is now a metre to two metres higher.
