I’m a proponent of the Subterranean Rock Giants theory myself.
“Moon’s orbit around Earth “
They were technically accurate till this.
Guess this means that JSW, sitting there at L2, will cause even more earthquakes?
Sort of like the "Jupiter Effect" without the planets.
There are Pop Rocks® at the center of the earth.
Why not? Makes as much sense as anything else.

Pretty sure it’s White Supremacy.
The Great Good Friday Earthquake of 1964 in Alaska occurred 4 minutes after the Moon was full. During my lifetime I have been a keen observer of natural events in conjunction with the phases of the Moon. Having practiced medicine for over 45 years I know how crazy people get around the time of the Full Moon. I used to plan my ocean fishing trips around the Moon phases. I am convinced that the ocean tides and the pull of the Moon have a much greater effect on humans and natural events than is generally acknowledged. We are mostly made of salt water. The weight of the tidal flows sloshing around the surface of the planet could easily trigger fault lines that have been building up stresses. The Full Moon has the greatest gravitational effect on the Earth and the New Moon is close behind. Hmm...
Anyone have an area rug lying loose on the floor without carpet tape underneath? Notice how the rug moves around on its own? That’s the same thing that happens to the earth’s plates. It’s caused by the same thing. Mystery solved. Can I have my grant money now?
I imagine the full truth is a combination of forces, including the earth’s inner heat, it’s effects on the materials in the layers of the earth, and also the effects of gravitational pull from earth’s moon. Not a single force but the dynamic combination of different forces.
a massive meteor strike has got to cause some major crust shifting and even pole shifts. And we know there has been massive meteor strikes.
I have a theory that the outer crust moves at a different speed because of some ‘elasticity’ of molten rock at the center. This different rate is the source of our magnetic field.
And the crust swings back and forth like a screen door swings back and forth. Which could have a periodic interval of 26,000 years. Which is how long the poles seem to shift.
Mars does not seem to have an inner core that spins at a different rate- so, no magnetic field. So bye-bye atmosphere and water.
This is not some new wild theory at all. The moon’s gravitational pull has long been known to be a factor on tides, and pulling and pushing on plates.
We’ve had it now.
Coming soon from the Left: Tectonic Plate movement is being enhanced by oil and gas drilling and the movement must be controlled, or it will destroy the planet!
Interesting.
It makes me wonder whether Mars once had a moon big enough to have kept it alive.
Now “all we have to do” is find a suitable body to put in the right orbit and wait.
Mars is much smaller and would likely need a smaller moon....you think Hillary has gotten big enough?
Reading this, I’d swear someone stole my HS physics paper on the topic.
Woulda, shoulda, coulda...old news from my chair.
The rotation of Earth and the molten core and the tectonic plates as vanes to capture the energy.
Such torque converters generate heat due to friction of the liquid in contact to the vanes to exchange the energy.
