I've been watching the live coverage/ breaking news of the Earthquake cum Tsunami that happened in Japan through several websites like BBC, CNN and also Al Jazeera since 6pm. My prayers goes to those affected by the sudden tragedy.
What made me want to blog is when I saw the live coverage by BBC a few minutes ago on an interview with an expert. I can't recall her name. But she was asked by the newscaster on whether it's possible to detect a Tsunami. The expert's answer was that if we're asking about the possibility of detecting a Tsunami is in fact asking how is it possible to detect an Earthquake. After all, Tsunamis are caused by Earthquakes. The expert answered that it is not possible to detect an Earthquake.
I came to think about the possibility of detecting it and realised that a few hours ago, my mom told me something about it. She told me that recently she saw on tv about fishermen getting lots of fishes and they were so excited about it. She said that the fishes even jumped onto the fisherman's boat by itself. How is that even possible? Of course as fishermen, you'll be so glad to catch so many fishes without much effort.
Okay here's the thing. My mom said that it's not easy becoming a fisherman because most fishes love swimming deeply in the ocean. It's their home after all. So catching a huge amount of fishes at the same time will be weird right? I mean when they even jump off the sea by themselves, isn't it weird? Is it possible that the fishes had "detected" a possible Earthquake? Which causes them to "run" far away?
Earthquake is from underneath. Deep deep under the ocean. I don't think we can feel it on land since we're "far away" from the core of the Earth's crust. So by logic, the ocean is "closer" to the crust right? So that means, those under the sea will be able to "detect" anything that is going to happen right? Yeah I think so. Haha. I think the fishes or underwater creatures are able to detect if there's an Earthquake coming. I really think so. Which is why they "ran up" as quickly to avoid the Earthquake? Or maybe their home is already destroyed? Those are signs. Maybe. I don't know but there's a possibility. Hmm.
I know nothing much about scientific matters or whatsoever related to it. That is why I have so many question marks. Lol. But I just think that it's logic to think that way though. Thanks to my mom for convincing me. So maybe the fishermen could help by giving reports on the amount of fishes that is being caught? It might sound funny. I think it sounds funny too. Hahaha. But it does makes sense right? My brother agreed too.
These are solely my opinion (my mom's opinion actually heehee). So if you disagree, I don't mind either. :)
Peace out!
