seaquake in Greenland Sea kills 3 sperm whales

Is there a connection?

On 16 February 2014, two sperm whales beach on the Danish West Coast of the North Sea.

Six days after the Danish beachings, a dead sperm whale was found on the beach in Kent, UK, 400 miles downstream from the Danish Coast stranding.

Sperm whales often strand in this fashion.







It is reasonable to assume that these 3 stranded sperm whales are all from the same pod. 

In keeping with the earthquake theory, these whales were injured by a magnitude 5.3 earthquake (USGS) that occurred in the Greenland Sea on 16 January 2014 ( 08:14:46 UTC - 09:14:46 local time)  The epicenter was  located at 73.7856N --- 8.5432E; depth of focus shown as 10 km, a default depth for oceanic EGs.

The European geosite list this event at Magnitude 4.9 with a focus at only 3.1 km below the ocean's surface. In my opinion, a mag 4.9 at 3.1 km is more whale-dangerous than a 5.3 at 10 km.  The 3.1 km depth at the European site is calculated by a geophysicists.

The German geofolks rate this event at 5.1 and show it as thrusting-- the most dangerous type of earthquake for diving whales. They list a default depth of 10 km below the ocean's surface.

The event was thrusting, the motion in the seabed was mostly vertical.

The big question is how did these whales get from the Greenland Sea through the Norwegian Sea and into the North Sea. Under normal condition, the current does not flow from this epicenter into the North Sea; however, this has been an exceptional year with winter storms moving off the US and Canadian shores, sweeping into the Norwegian and Greenland Seas. Sorting out the wind and weather in the area is gonna take a trained and experienced oceanographer. So... I can not draw a line from the epicenter to the beach in this event, but feel certain that this whales were injured in the Greenland Sea and the above quake was the only event that could have caused it. Below is a video that might explain how these sperm whales landed at Denmark.

Seaquake-injured Pilot Whales Strand on Scotland Beach

Image
Sixteen pilot whales, including four calves, were injured by an undersea earthquake on 11 August 2012. They died in a mass stranding on the coast of Fife in Scotland. The pod of 26 was discovered inside a cove on a small sandy beach at the base of steep cliffs in Pittenweem, near St Andrews, shortly after 7am on Sunday (02 Sept 2012). A further 24 pilot whales from the same pod have been seen in the shallows three miles along the coast at Cellardyke. They were being closely observed amid fears they might also beach. A spokesman for Fife coast guard said: "The usual scenario would be that the whale that is leading the group has become ill, or has lost its way, and gets beached and the rest will follow on, although we do not know for sure if that is what happened."  This NONSENSE is wrong.   To understand why I say this read "Whale Stranding Conspiracy." The truth is that all the whales in the pod are lost and swimming along with the flow of the surface currents.

SPERM WHALES BEACH IN THE NORTH SEA

29 Sperm Whales Washed Ashore by Strong Wind-Driven Currents Introduction Whale scientists said, "The animals inadvertently consume plastic and plastic waste, which causes them to suffer and starve with full stomachs." ( link ) They blame the stranding on the garbage floating on the oceans. Think about it! How can a pod of majestic sperm whales using the most advanced biosonar system in the world to locate the squid they eat in the total darkness 5,000 meters below the surface might "inadvertently" identify plastic and ropes and other garbage as food? The truth is that these sperm whales had been suffering biosonar failure ever since they were injured by rapid and excessive pressure changes above the epicenter of an undersea earthquake (aka. seaquake). The injury is barotraumatic in nature and mainly affects the enclosed cranial air spaces. Seaquakes are sudden disturbances in hydrostatic pressure caused by an underwater volcanic explosion o

Dead Whales Washing Ashore on the California Coast

dead whale washed ashore by the incoming tide and wind-driven current I'm going to use the dead whales washing ashore on the West Coast to show you how whale scientists have been misleading the public for decades about why toothed whales (odontoceti) beach themselves. As to the recent West Coast incident, here's a link with the latest scientific opinions ( link ) about why the dead baleen whales are stranding. Marine Fisheries Services biologist Justin Viezbicke, coordinator of NOAA's West Coast Stranding Network, said "the appearance of higher than usual numbers may be a function of a strong onshore current and wind conditions bringing ashore whales that otherwise would decompose in the ocean."    The above correct statement was supported by  Mary Jane Schramm, who said, "One of the reasons we are seeing such a cluster at one time is we have very strong winds that have been blowing consistently washing things onto shore.” ( link ) These t
