	potent pressure changes generated by seaquakes
		Seaquakes erupt when strain in the seabed accumulates to a point where the resulting stresses exceed the strength of the rocks, and sudden fracturing results.
		Thus, a violent seaquake hypocentered ten kilometers down in the brittle layer of the seabed, in water ten thousand feet deep, is not nearly as dangerous to a pod of whales on the surface as a seaquake hypocentered four or five kilometers down in water only five hundred feet deep.
		It seems that seaquakes occurring in the upper five km of the crust and rupture through the seafloor to alter the terrain, generate the most potent pressure waves in the water column, but are the most nebulous to land-based instruments.

	A study on the estimation of the seaquake response of a floating structure considering the characteristics of seismic ...
		Seaquakes, which are characterized by the propagation of vertical earthquake motion at the sea bottom as a compression (longitudinal) wave, are reported to cause damage to ships, and their effect on floating structures is a matter of great concern.
		To investigate the interrelationship between the vibration of a floating structure and the deformation of the seabed, a new boundary integral equation is derived which assumes that the seabed is a semiinfinite homogeneous elastic solid in order to analyze the seaquake-induced hydrodynamic pressure acting on the floating structure.
		Finally, the response of a very large floating structure in a seaquake is investigated using a fluid force analysis method, and considering the interrelationship between the vibration of the floating structure and the deformation of the seabed.

	The UnMuseum - Phantom Ships
		A seaquake is an earthquake that occurs under the ocean.
		Williams proposed that the Mary Celeste was hit by a seaquake which knocked the stove out of its place and loosened the stays on the nine barrels of alcohol, spilling their contents thoughout the hold and into the bilge.
		As the fumes from the alcohol drifted about the vessel and into the galley where the loosened stove was spitting sparks, the captain and crew would have feared a violent explosion.

	Portugal, week 27 September - 02 October
		The year of 2004 ended in tragedy when an earthquake with 8.9 intensity in the Richter scale and epicentre in the Indic Ocean caused a seaquake that devastated the seaside of several countries in Southeast Asia and even Africa.
		As people all over the world watched in terror the devastation caused by the giant waves generated by the earthquake, the body count just kept on climbing during the entire week reaching 150.000 dead.
		The risk of epidemic strikes is great and it is feared that it might even cause more victims than the seaquake.

	Sea Captain solves Mary Celeste mystery
		The seaquake also shook the galley stove so violently that it was lifted up from its chocks and set down out of place.
		In addition, before a seaquake can generate potent P-waves in the water, the seabed itself must simulate the action of a giant piston, moving up and down rapidly, shoving and pulling at the water column.
		Accordingly, it is not surprising that during the severe vibrations of the seaquake, long splints would pop from the edges of a few bow planks along the grain, appearing as if it were cut with an unknown instrument.

		According to the same dictionary a tidal wave is the same as a tsunami and is defined as one or a series of waves that occur after an earthquake, seaquake, volcanic activity, slumps, or meteorite impacts (!!!) in or near the sea.
		Part of the reason seaquake hasn´t, and shouldn´t enter the English lexicon yet is that there is, really, no physical difference between the two processes, i.e.
		The word "seaquake" can be found in US dictionaries, but does not appear in, e.g., the Cambridge (UK English) dictionary.
