Marblehead Posted October 26, 2017 I doubt we could find enough supporting evidence to suggest that. Earthquakes and most volcanoes are a result of the movement of tectonic plates. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thelerner Posted October 26, 2017 The moon is certainly shifting huge amounts of the ocean, ie tidal affects and causes the Earth to wobble a bit in its orbit. The moon circles us every 27.3 (synodic) days, so its always tugging and pulling somewhere. The study of Earth's wobble is fascinating and a little frightening- https://phys.org/news/2016-04-nasa-mysteries-earth.html Speaking of earthquakes, at first I doubted it but evidence is clear that Fracking can cause them. So far relatively mild localized ones, but it's not like there's decades of data on it. I'd add we've been digging deep exploring inside and around the earth for years, I'm sure there's much to discover but classic hollow earth theory has been put to rest by modern geologists.

Good try. Yes, the surface of earth is 70% water (ocean) but total water per total mass is very small. The total amount of water is 1/4400 the total mass of the Earth. That's not much. But yes, the moon does influence the tides of larger bodies of water on earth. But I doubt this movement of water does anything significant to the land masses.

thelerner Posted October 26, 2017 Well, its the water that moves, but the gravitational effect is 'grabbing' the land too. Plus big as it is, the Earth is moving through frictionless space. Dollars to donuts, if it didn't circle us keeping the wobble in all directions, if it somehow was only one sided, it'd probably pull us out of orbit.. slowly. It's big, 20%ish 27% of our size and pretty close. If there was a good enough road, I could drive there. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nungali Posted October 26, 2017 13 hours ago, Sky said: does the frequent earthquakes cause by the close proximity of the moon? because everytime i saw a big moon there be earthquake happening somewhere. Not when the Moon 'be looking big' but (supposedly) possible when the Moon's path is crossing he equator. But Earth 'be causing' Moonquakes; https://www.livescience.com/32157-can-the-moon-cause-earthquakes.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
