Why is the size of the sea creature 'terrible' flooding?

Most recently in New Zealand, 400 whales shrouded in mystery after only one night.

Sharks, dolphins or generally marine mammals often use magnetic sensors in their bodies to navigate.

According to NASA scientists, one of the reasons why marine organisms often land is because they are affected by the solar storm. When solar storms occur, the "natural compass" inside the marine mammal will be affected and make them unidentifiable from the earth's magnetic field. This accidentally caused them to get lost and rush to shore.

More than 400 whales fish ashore in New Zealand.

The marine mammals that cross shore recorded from single cases to hundreds of animals at the same time. According to Katie Moore, a NASA scientist and director of the International Foundation for Animal Health, the phenomenon of ashore occurs everywhere, from New Zealand, Australia, South Africa to the United States.

Antti Pulkkinen, a solar system research scientist at NASA's Goddard Flight Training Center, said the specific assessment of the phenomenon was still conjectural.

"When the number of mammals washed up a few hundred cases, we would have enough databases to confirm the cause, " Pulkkinen said. "This is a mystery for a long time to decode."

However, the scientist and his colleagues began to study the relationship between solar storms and the phenomenon of mammal drift. The initial results show that there is an effect of solar storm on the dolphin or whale's navigation system, but the affirmation certainly needs more time.

"If we understand the relationship between the two phenomena, scientists will monitor the solar storm and give an early warning if whale shedding occurs. This will help us increase our chances. save marine mammals " , Pulkkien said.
