I believe that there is a correlation between the phases of the moon and earthquakes. I don’t have any data to back this up but historically many of the Big Ones have occurred close to the Full Moon. The Indian Ocean quake that set off the huge tsunamis a few years ago was close to the Full Moon. The Good Friday earthquake in Alaska in 1964 occurred at 1733 - the Moon was full at 1729. Hmmm...

Correlation with the moon makes perfect sense to me. Gravity has pull. It's the law! (ha ha)

The moon is a powerful force on the earth. Witness the tides.

Earth’s Gravitational Pull Is Creating Bulges on the Moon

Scientists have known for a long time that the gravitational pull between the Earth and the moon have warped both bodies to look slightly egg-like in shape, but new data collected from NASA missions is revealing just how that pull is affecting the moon.

MIT scientist Erwan Mazarico, who works at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, explains that “the deformation of the moon due to Earth’s pull is very challenging to measure, but learning more about it gives us clues about the interior of the moon.”
