USGS: Some Earthquakes on San Andreas Fault Are Triggered by Gravitational Tug Between Sun and Moon

The full moon brings out the crazies, while the new moon brings out the “hornies”.

It’s far less work to find an amenable member of the opposite sex that is willing to play during a new moon (2 or 3 days either side) than during the rest of the month.

At least that is my experience...

Since you follow earthquake movement, I’m sure that you are aware of this guy, right?

Commentary and earthquake prediction each evening at 7pm Central. Absolutely incredible.

Global warming causes gravitational pull?!!!

Fracking causes gravitational pull?!!!

[a fool in paradise]

I’m not predicting anything but it is something worth studying carefully.

I call Bull! Everyone knows it’s fracking and global warming and too many People...

[CARTOUCHE]

Yes. I’ve been following his commentaries for awhile.

[Charles Martel]

This has been known for decades.

Yep. Heard this in high school science class (mid-'70s).

Can’t be true, any atmospheric or geothermic activity on the earth is caused by human pollution. /sarc

Dogs bark before earthquakes because they can hear the high pitched primary waves that occur just before the physical motion. This noise comes out of the ground.

I think they are called P-waves, and they travel just a little bit faster than the other waves, which is why folks think dogs bark BEFORE the earthquake.

Thanks for clearing that up. I thought it was the dogs barking that set off an earthquake. FWIW, a whole bunch of dogs barking sets me off. ;-)
