“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.”

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.
