You have to pick:

In exactly ten years a strata of blue whales will appear underground at 100 meters above sea level. These whales completely cover this elevation, but only if they are completely underground. Everyone knows this is coming.
 
or
 
In exactly ten years animals larger than a Pygmy marmoset will transform into a blue whale. These blue whales will be regular blue whales in every way except they will possess the memories and same intellectual capacity as their original form. Everyone knows this is coming.

Whales rule!! Do they breed like monkeys? More the better, I say

Hm. Global earthquakes as the ground shifts and settles, and places with ground level near the 100m mark will probably get fissures spewing high-pressure liquefied whale from them. That's kind of nasty. But I wouldn't be surprised if most of the whale goo remains sequestered deep underground in the high-altitude regions and becomes a new sort of "fossil fuel" resource to tap into.

Ten years gives a lot of time to earthquake-proof our infrastructure, though it'll still really suck. Not as bad as most of the other world-affecting whale WYRs.

That seems like it would be absolutely catastrophic. There's the case of matter displacement, since everything would take up so much more space, but also the factors of environment (there'd be millions, if not billions of land-locked whales, unable to move, waiting to suffer and die), not to mention the food chain would be virtually nonexistent, causing most life on earth to starve.
