Seaquakes Kill 337 Whales in Chile!

Image
337 baleen whales washed ashore in Patagonia, Chile. They were killed by several powerful undersea earthquakes in the Southern Ocean 2,000 to 3,000 miles west of the stranding site! Or it might have been a  meteorite?    Large meteors striking the surface of ocean have been reported to generate shocks as large as ten kilotons of  TNT equivalent. seaquake in Southern Chile  kills 47 whales The 1908 newspaper article on the left tells how 47 whales were killed by a Marine Upheaval (seaquake) off Southern Chile's Cape Horn not too far from where 337 dead whales were recently found. You can find a better copy at this link . And, if you click on "other clippings by deafwhale" you will see a lot more seaquake evidence. It's a wake-up call to those who love whales and wonder why they beach themselves. Rapid changes in diving pressures  generated by undersea earthquakes and volcanic explosions (seaquakes) have been killing whales for millions

is the seaquake stranding solution flawed as some scientists claim?

Some scientists are reporting that a big seaquake on 30 August 2012 near Jan Mayen Island caused the pilot whales to beach in Scotland. They were mistaken. The quake that caused the beachings occurred on 11 August 2012 along the Northern Mid-Atlantic Ridge . You can read my full report on the stranding at this ( link ). This page will try to limit the damage these misinform scientists have done to the seaquake stranding solution . The scientists said the August 30 quake was responsible. They did not elaborate. The only possible basis of their claim is that hydroacoustic pressure changes generated by natural seafloor upheavals (known scientifically as T-Phase Waves ) can and do enter the deep sound channel and travel for thousands of miles with little energy loss. What the scientists likely suspected was that the 6.7 magnitude quake generated a series of T-Phase Waves that traveled in the deep sound channel at 1,500 miles per hour and caught up with the pod on a
