Ciencias del dia.
A recent article in ‘Physics and Chemistry of the Earth’ (you know that journal, right?) discussed the strange reactions of a number of ground animals in a Peruvian National Park.
They were filming day/night activity, and 23 days before a major earthquake(intensity 7.0)most of the activity and the presence of animals dropped significantly.
For 5 of the 7 days immediately before the quake, it ceased entirely.
So what was going on? It seems that when the Earth’s surface experiences stressors, electrically charged molecules cause elevated serotonin levels in the bloodstream.
This in turn causes animals (and humans?) to experience confusion, agitation, headaches, restlessness and hyperactivity.
Animals will naturally depart an area in which they experience this kind of discomfort.
So, keep an eye on your coatis, camarones & cows. The Big One may be on the way.

These are the benefits of civilization.
We can expect earthquakes from Godthaab to McMurdo.April 1, 2015 at 2:34 pm #167818sueandchrisMember[quote=”Scott”]Humans who regularly walk on the grass/earth with bare feet and are therefore truly connected with Mother Nature also feel this but ‘modern man’ has lost the ability to ‘connect’ with Mother Nature which is just one of the many reasons why we are blindly destroying our home…
