According to the new experiment carried out in the Northeast Pacific Ocean, the process by which the songs of Fin whales resound back from the ocean floor could become a useful mechanism for researchers examining the sediment and rock that make up the Earth s crust.
These songs are some of the strongest and most extensive vocalizations in the ocean, and with thousands of fin whales widen across the planet, the songs could adjoin with existing scans or fill in gaps where it s even more dangerous to use conventional air gun approach to marine life.
