Pods of pelagic whales that live far from shore are often injured during a feeding dive by rapid and excessive changes in water pressure caused by undersea earthquakes, volcanic explosion, the sudden impact of a meteorite with the ocean's surface, undersea mining explosions, and naval sonars. This barotraumatic injury disables their bio-sonar system and renders them unable to echonavigate and also unable to div and feed.
