Sun and Moon Tides May Trigger Earthquakes, Study Suggests
Original: The Sun And Moon Can Trigger Earthquakes, And Scientists May Finally Know How
New research indicates that the gravitational pull of the Sun and Moon can trigger earthquakes, and scientists may have identified the mechanism behind it. The findings suggest tidal stresses on faults could set off quakes that are already primed to rupture, a long-debated idea in seismology.
Why now: A new scientific finding linking celestial tidal forces to earthquake triggering has just been published.
