seaquakes and stranded whales

[deafwhale]

When an dip/slip earthquake ruptures through the seafloor, the rocky bottom becomes like the faceplate of a giganic transducers, pushing and pulling at the water column, generating awesome waves of compressions and rarefactions.

These rapid changes in ambient pressure cause injury in the sinuses of diving whales and result in mass strandings of the entire pod.

Can anybody argue with this logic?

This work is known as the Seaquake Theory. You can look it up on the web.

I don't find anything on it from reputable, unbiased sources. They all seem to be from organizations like Greenpeace.

It's a reasonable hypothesis, but I'd like to see some good scientific substantiation. Do you have something that's not from leftist environmental activist organizations?

Must you be spoon fed by a navy scientists before you can grasp a new idea?

 

[Orleander]

have stranded whales been recorded through out history or is it a fairly new thing? Where does it happen most often? Which whales does it happen most often to?

Anyone CAN argue if they want but few real facts are available from scientific sources that could validate any argument at this time.

No. But I prefer unbiased sources and yours are no more unbiased than the navy, they're just biased in the opposite direction. One can often discern the truth by wading through biased arguments on both sides but that's not something most of us are interested in doing on SciForums.
