The Sun, The Moon, and Earthquakes
Mitch Battros - Earth Changes Media
Earth Changes Media has written about the effects of the Sun and Moon on earthquakes since 1998. Appearing in tomorrow's scientific journal "Nature", seismologists are confirming what was already been known. Once again, new discoveries point to a closely knit symbiotic relation between, our home, the Sun, the Moon, and our Galaxy.
The faint tug of the Sun and Moon on areas like the San Andreas fault stimulates tremors deep underground, suggesting that the rock 15 miles below is lubricated with highly pressurized water that allows the rock to slip with little effort, according to a new study by University of California, Berkeley, seismologists.
Fellow researcher Jim Berkland, Geologist and I have been aware of this phenomena since 2003. We have jointly spoken of this on national syndicated radio stations over the past few years. We have described it as "Fluid Displacement". This addresses both the ebb and flow of fluids such as ocean water, rain, oil, and any other form of fluid.
Earthquakes are most prone to occur during a time of 'Full Moon' and 'New Moon'. They are also vulnerable at times of heavy rains, and at times of drought. It is the shifting of fluid on the tectonic plates (or fault lines) which cause the shift.
Robert Nadeau of the Berkeley Seismological Laboratory said: "For the first time we're getting a picture of what's going on beneath where earthquakes are happening." Nadeau is one of the authors of a report appearing Thursday in the scientific journal 'Nature'.
