“Large earthquakes are more likely to occur when there is a full or new moon because of the gravitational pull on tides, a new study suggests.
“Researchers led by Satoshi Ide, Suguru Yabe and Yoshiyuki Tanaka, all from the University of Tokyo, found that tides—which arise from the gravitational interaction between the Earth and the Moon—can cause changes that may trigger earthquakes.”
I'm keeping my eye on the Cascadia!
Whenever I visit the WA and OR coasts the thought never leaves my mind. All the tsunami warning signs don’t help. But where I live, almost 300 miles inland, I don’t think about it too much except for planning for power outages and general emergency preparation.
My nephew owns a home overlooking the coast at Depot Bay!!! I have said time and again they best have a good escape plan.
They are up on a cliff but still...
It’s the same old “Nothing to see here,move along” propaganda/people handling method.They want people to be happy little workers and don’t want them to think about what’s coming.
Action.
Reaction.
Kind of a physics thang.
Scientists have disputed that for years when commoners felt tidal influences had an affect on earthquakes. It wasn’t too many years ago they also said earth quakes were stand alone events, not affected by other earth movements.
