March 19-22 also happens to be the 3 day window of when the moon will be at its closest approach to the earth in 18 years. Basic physics says that we should expect there to be effects from this to the tides, at the VERY least.

THis is only as close as the supermoon of 1992. Not that long ago. Infact they happen regular enough.
Had them in 1955, 1974, 1992 and even 2005.
There seems to be a chance they can lead to an increase in extreme weather events but nothing more serious. Some flooding possibly. Don't seem to have a major impact.
When I do a quick glance at the USGS, it just so happens that the months leading up to and after those perigees were increases in MAGNITUDE of quakes, not necessarily the number.
I really thought common sense would apply here, but I was wrong. I don't understand how someone can say "Yes, the oceans move because of the moon" but don't equate the liquid under the crust to be similarly effected?
They still can't predict them fully because they have no clue why they REALLY happen.
With that said, how would they know for 100% sure that the moon has NO effect on the other liquids and gases around the planet??? In fact, what about the other planets and their effects too? [/quotes]
Guess you made no effort to find out. That's okay because there is a link at the bottom of this post.
So let me get this straight... the moon and it's gravity are enough to move hundred of billions of tons of water, but not lava or magma? Don't the tectonic plates sit on top of a layer of magma? Is my point established or do I need to go on?
I think you might be onto the basic observation that water flows, but rocks do not flow during the short period that the moon passes by any given spot on the Earth.
I don't see why people constantly challenge this idea... scientists still study lava and magma because THEY DON'T FULLY UNDERSTAND IT, just like seismology, because they still can't predict quakes even though they can detect them the moment they happen.
That's correct. People are still learning about the world around. For example, you and I and the person you are berating in your post are learning new things. Scientists too are learning more about the world around us.
I am not saying that all quakes are caused by the moon, but to ignore the fact that the moon could play any role in the movement of magma, which is directly related to tectonic movement and volcanic activity, is foolish IMO. Then again, it's just my opinion.
All quakes caused by the Moon? No. Only a very few quakes might be caused by the Moon. The evidence is still not clear that there are any quakes caused by the moon.
Can the position of the moon or the planets affect seismicity?

all i was trying to say was the last few didn't seem to have huge effects on the planet. Its not an original occurance that we haven't seen for hundreds of years or anything like that. I wasn't expecting a lecture on how stupid I am and on how intelligent you are.
Sorry for disturbing you o mighty one.
Your quick glance is wrong. There is very little correlation between quakes and the Moon.
Just because you think that a stiffer material that can flex should act like water that can flow does not make it so. Take a look and learn.
Few realize that the solid earth also exhibits tidal behavior with bulges on opposite sides of the globe, also driven by the moon. At HVO, we can actually measure these tides with our tiltmeters and strainmeters. The earth's surface tilts up to 0.03 microradians in response to the apparent passage of the moon overhead. A tilt of one microradian is the tilt of a solid bar one kilometer (0.6 miles) long with one end raised by the thickness of a dime. To emphasize how small the tidal tilts are, our tiltmeters automatically alert us to the possibility of volcanic activity when tilts change more than 0.5 microradians in 5 minutes. Who would have thought that the moon had that kind of power, not only to be able to cause the world's oceans to bulge, but also to squeeze terra firma twice a day? (NOT STEREOLOGIST) But it does, so it should not come as a complete shock that reputable scientists have suggested that these squeezings might influence whether a volcano will erupt or not.
Volcanologists use the regular, predictable Earth tide movements to calibrate and test sensitive volcano deformation monitoring instruments. The tides may also trigger volcanic events. Seismologists have determined that microseismic events are correlated to tidal variations in Central Asia (north of the Himalayas). [5] The semidiurnal amplitude of terrestrial tides can reach about 55 cm at the equator which is important in GPS calibration and VLBI measurements. Also to make precise astronomical angular measurements requires knowledge of the Earth's rate of rotation and nutation, both of which are influenced by earth tides.
That's not why and you probably even know that is not correct. The problem is not having adequate information about the conditions at the fault planes.
I know exactly how you feel, I started going through the same thing last year. Very frustrating living in a world full of people that don't understand this though

I reached the point, starting by January this year, that I don't really care about my life as before, in the sense that having a job and a school degree doesn't mean anything to me.
Its just pure bull#, pure agony.
No one will need a job in 2 years...
What I care about is , experience, having fun, being myself, enjoying my freaking life every moment I can.
I definitely feel like my age doesn't matter anything, I have no age, there is no time, there is only experience...
When I'm with some particular people I feel like there is just us in the world...Like every other thing is outside my world...
I literally live to be able to enjoy some other laughs with friends...
My family and my friends are the only , ONLY thing I care about as of now...
Everything else became pointless to me, to the point that I do those things in a automatic way...But I'm constantly day-dreaming, I'm costantly distracted by little things...
I actually feel very detouched from daily routine stuff...I constantly watch people around me and think :
" You guys have no idea, no idea ".
The mere thought of what could happen at the end of this graph makes me so happy and so serene, that if it actually will happen that day...
I don't know, I will just be forever happy and serene, in that case...
And yes, today I had a very excellent day...For the simple reason that I laughed for more than a minute...
Laughing is very important to me...XD...Far more important that getting a job...
