GRAVITATIONAL MOON–EARTH FORCES TRIGGERING EARTHQUAKES IN SUBDUCTION ZONES. ( near Oceans)
New or Full moon the tides from the moon added to the ones from the sun . At 1st and 3rd Quarter the tides are divided . At the New or Full moon there are Spring Tides . At the 1st or 3rd Quarter are neap tides

For each perigee and apogee the distance in kilometres between the centres of the Earth and Moon is given. Perigee and apogee distances are usually accurate to within a few kilometres compared to values calculated with the definitive ELP 200082 theory of the lunar orbit; the maximum error over the years through 2022 is 12 km in perigee distance and 6 km at apogee. The closest perigee and most distant apogee of the year are marked with “++ ” if closer in time to full Moon or “- - ” if closer to new Moon. Other closetomaximum apogees and perigees are flagged with a single character, again indicating the nearer phase. Following the flags is the interval between the moment of perigee or apogee and the closest new or full phase; extrema cluster on the shorter intervals, with a smaller bias toward months surrounding the Earth's perihelion in early January. “F” indicates the perigee or apogee is closer to full Moon, and “N” that new Moon is closer. The sign indicates whether the perigee or apogee is before (“−”) or after (“+”) the indicated phase, followed by the interval in days and hours. Scan for plus signs to find “photo opportunities” where the Moon is full close to apogee and perigee. The Moon Phase Table 1/2

G= 6. 67 × 10-11N. m/kg2 M Earth = 5. 972 × 1024 kg M Moon = 7
G= 6.67 × 10-11N.m/kg2 M Earth = × 1024 kg M Moon = × 1022 kg Newton’s law the only variable is the distance. WE only used the perigee distance Apogee distance was not relevant R is the only variable
10
Variation on distance 2017 – Variation in the moon- distance ( perigee) R max= km R min= km Rdif = km
11
The oscillation of Perigee force variation period 1996-2008
The oscillation of Perigee force variation period It has amplitude and period . Newtons
12
Solar cycle – The variation on the number of spots in Sun surface- during 11 years approximately – We calculated the variation of the moon cycle during one solar cycle , Cycle 23 .( at this stage)
13
Variation of the number of earthquakes and respective moon phase, during one solar cycle Magnitude is M≥4.5. All quakes during the days of Maximum perigee for Full or New moon, Minimum perigee for First or Third Quarter. First results. Variations of number of earthquakes M > 4,5 during ONE solar cycle. When the moon cycle is a maximum the phase is always Full or New When it is a minimum it is always first of third quarter.
14
Quakes 1950- 2015 - the percentage by moon phases - giant earthquakes.
We took giant earthquakes list the statistics results gave us that most of the happened at the New Moon or Full Moon at the subduction zones
15
Giant earthquakes – M>8. 0 happened 1996-2008
Giant earthquakes – M>8.0 happened Occurred at subduction zones as Mega thrust quakes. We searched the location of the earthquakes M>8.0 for one solar cycle and it showed they happened most at the Pacific Ocean at the subduction zones
16
Locations of large earthquakes period 1950- 2015 worldwide locations.
The same was done in the period most of large earthquakes happened at the Southern Pacific .
17
Giant earthquakes in South America subduction zones-N=New, F= full,T=third
This picture shows the South America at the Pacific side and when the large quakes happened.
18
Theory: Full and New Moon create “spring tides” triggering earthquakes The majority of Large quakes happened at the New Moon or Full Moon . They occurred at the subduction zones. Subduction ZONES – plates are sinking below the Continents.
19
The ocean is continuously hitting the continent and the convergence zone with High tides or low tides. Continuous stress at shore lines. The colder water sink and the warm water come up due the convection. ( Alaska)
20
THE GRAVITATIONAL FORCE SUN-MOON-EARTH AFFECTS THE TIDES AND OCEANIC WAVES.
2) FULL OR NEW MOON IMPLIES HIGHEST TIDES+ MORE PRESSURE AT THE SHORELINES. 3) PRESSURE OF WAVES GENERATED BY TIDES INCREASE THE AMOUNT OF ENERGY STORED AT SUBDUCTION ZONES
21
COLD WATER SINKING INSIDE SUBDUCTION ZONES
COLD WATER SINKING INSIDE SUBDUCTION ZONES. COLD WATER BECOMES WARM, EVENTUALLY BOIL.ING. BOILING WATER COMES TO THE EARTH’S COLD SURFACE BY CONVECTION CURRENTS. 5) THE OLDER COLD PLATAFORM SUBDUCTION AREAS, IS FRAGIL, BREAKABLE SINKING BY GRAVITATIONAL FORCES AND ATRACTED FOR THE EARTH’S CENTER MASS. 6) ACCUMULATED ENERGY FROM VARIOUS CAUSES WILL BE RELEASED BY EARTHQUAKES OR VOLCANOS AT SUBUDUCTION ZONES.
22
Some Large Quakes happened independent of the moon’s phase. WHY?
Triggering a quake demand, a time accumulating energy enough to be released in a fracture, fault or subduction zone. Time interval will store energy until is enough to be release in an earthquake. The energy come from the movement of the ocean waves during the tides variation- Spring Tides ( New or Full moon) Neap Tides ( 1st or 3rd Quarter)
