Earthquake Caused By Oil Hunting?

Check out this Theory

FYI, this is a misuse of the concept of the theory. A theory, as part of the scientific method, is backed by the consistent results of repeated experimentation under controlled conditions. This topic is actually more a hypothesis based on initial observation and conjecture.

I doubt this connection, but there could be a couple things connected here:

1) Seismic Surveys driving Whales to beach themselves

2) The 1 Earthquake may have triggered the other

I agree.

Doubt it. The frequency would have to match exactly with that of the fault line.

Myths Run Wild in Blog Tsunami Debate - New York Times

[Hat tip: Kevin Aylward]

As the horror of the South Asian tsunami spread and people gathered online to discuss the disaster on sites known as Web logs, or blogs, those of a political bent naturally turned the discussion to their favorite topics.

To some in the blogosphere, it simply had to be the government's fault.

On Democratic Underground, a blog for open discussion and an online gathering place for people who hate the Bush administration, a participant asked, "Since we know that the atmosphere has become contaminated by all the atomic testing, space stuff, electronic stuff, earth pollutants, etc., is it logical to wonder if: Perhaps the 'bones' of our earth where this earthquake spawned have also been affected?"

The cause of the earthquake and resulting killer wave, the writer said, could be the war in Iraq. "You know, we've exploded many millions of tons of ordnance upon this poor planet," the writer said. "All that 'shock and awe' stuff we've just dumped onto the Asian part of this earth - could we have fractured something? Perhaps the earth was just reacting to something that man has done to injure it. The earth is organic, you know. It can be hurt."

The ridicule began immediately. Online insults, referred to colloquially as flames, rose high on other sites. . .

Well, what does Clive Cussler have to say about it?
