THE TRUTH ABOUT WHY WHALES MASS STRAND

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

On Tuesday, 11 February 2014, nine orcas (killer) whales swam into the rocky shore inside Te Waewae Bay, South Island New Zealand In my opinion, formed after 50 years of trying to understand mass beachings, the biosonar system these orcas use to echonavigate was disabled by sinus barotrauma induced by disturbances in the surrounding water pressure generated above the epicenter of an extremely shallow earthquake off the west coast of South Island. The quake occurred at  8:54 pm local time on January 28th, 2014. The European-Mediterranean Seismology Group listed this event at 4.7 magnitude , focused only 2 kilometers below the ocean's surface . Other seismic stations reported this quake at 5+ mag. New Zealand GeoNet reported it as a strong earthquake at 5.4 magnitude; however, they listed the depth at 33 km, which is the standard default depth used by GeoNet for submarine earthquakes. As you can see at the bottom of GeoNet's page, most reporting stations indicated a depth
