- webnrrd2k 9y agoIs it just me, or does it seem kind of weird that there is a link to another article about how the blasts of compressed air used to make these maps kills a great many creatures. http://news.nationalgeographic.com/2017/06/seismic-survey-air-gun-oil-gas-exploration-zooplankton-spd/ http://news.nationalgeographic.com/2017/06/seismic-survey-ai...

Not only can loud sounds cause deafness in humans but a loud enough sound will kill you.
