Untold thousands of pelagic organisms were disturbed and maybe even a few of them killed on Monday when a powerful 6.5 magnitude earthquake and a 6.0 aftershock struck the Atlantic Ocean seafloor about 100 miles east of the Carribbean island of Guadalupe, the Associated Press reports.
The tremors, which did not cause any tsunami waves, probably caused some collapses of tiny undersea caverns home to different types of crustaceans and other bottom-dwelling sea life. Or maybe like landslides that buried the poor bastards under tons of silt and rocks and shit. Horrible.
