Scientists study the influence of the Sun and Moon on earthquakes
Researchers modeled the mechanism by which tidal forces from the Sun and Moon can trigger earthquakes. The study indicates the potential to assess the risk of major faults, including megathrust earthquakes.
In brief
- Researchers modeled the mechanism of the Sun and Moon’s influence.
- The study showed that even weak influence can cause fault movement.
- The rhythm of the Sun and Moon’s influence coincides with the natural response time of the rock.
- The research may help assess the potential of megathrust earthquakes.
