In 2007, about 13 million acres burned across the United States, with California accounting for approximately 10% of the acres burned. Many of California's fires were ignited by broken power lines in fall 2007.
Short surface waves can cause pressure fluctuations on the deep seafloor
Long ocean waves (with wavelength greater than 1 m and period longer than about 1 s) have long been known to excite acoustic waves at twice their frequency that can travel with little attenuation to the bottom of the ocean.
