Subj : Earthquakes To : All From : Tim Richardson Date : Tue Jul 19 2016 15:33:02 There have been a rash of earthquakes here and there, some in places that are unusual for earthquakes to occur. And the San Andreas has started to become more active recently. It turns out that the Sun and Moon have an influence on this by causing `tide' effects in the Earth's crust due to their respective gravitational influences exerting a `pull-push' effect on the crust, thereby causing tectonic plates to rise and fall, relieving stress points that make the plates slide against each other more easily. It would seem the heavenly bodies in the Solar System have more influence on us than just our weather and climate patterns.
