nobody is misinforming here..
we are all open on healthy discussions..

and by the way.. astrologer just coined the word "supermoon"
but observations about the moon effects was based on real incidents and studies..

"The purpose of this ad-hoc page is to collect quickly references to theories using constellations of the planets for prediction of earthquakes. Why? Because the big earthquake in Greece and Turkey (autumn 1999) took place after the total solar eclipse (= new moon constellation), the Sumatra Earthquake and Tsunami 2004 at full moon, and many more major earthquakes at the special full or new moon constellations. The russian scientists and others have observed that probability of major earthquakes is high at or 1..3 days after full or new moon when the line of gravitation crosses close to the tectonic plates boundaries."

18.02.2011 08:35 UTC Full moon; New Zealand 2011 Christchurch earthquake 21.02.2011 23:51 UTC force 6,3
04.03.2011 20:48 UTC New moon; Japan earthquake 09.03.2011 force 7.2; 11.03. 05:46 UTC Japan Sendai earthquake and tsunami force 8.9


DISCUSS!!

Pure coincidence. Did you even read the link I gave you? There IS NO LINK to the moon's proximity with the Earth's tectonic plate movement. Read up on what causes the planet's plates to move.

The list that you gave also omitted the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake. The huge Indian Ocean earthquake was on December 26th, 2004: fully two weeks before the Moon was at perigee. In other words, that earthquake happened when the Moon was nearly at its farthest from the Earth, minimizing its effect on us.

Furthermore, the Wikipedia page you are referring to is a page dedicated to the nonsensical ramblings of one Wikipedia user about the Moonquake theory. ONE. Against scientific research of THOUSANDS of astronomers, geologists, and seismologists. Guess who I'll believe?

And again, this nonsense has been disproved by Popular Science and the Washington Post.. The United States Geological Survey is with me on this, too.

There is nothing to discuss. Read those links I gave you. And yes, you are misinforming everyone here, without solid evidence. And yes, that is dangerous and reckless.

No, nothing out of the ordinary will happen.

Rodsky has spoken. Now please close this pathetic thread.

Ooooh. and just when it was starting to get interesting...

[potterboy]

I was expecting someone would discuss about the moon and the continental drift theory link.


Oh the thread's closed.
