The Moon's Mysterious Power: Triggering Earthquakes on Earth.

The moon's gravity may trigger earthquakes on Earth, according to a few studies. While the moon's pull on the oceans is well-known, its effect on earthquakes was previously deemed too weak to have any significant impact. However, with the advent of bigger and more comprehensive datasets, scientists have started to uncover the moon's tiny but mighty effect on Earth's earthquakes. The moon's impact is seen clearly in underwater earthquakes, where the weight of the ocean presses down on a volcano's magma chamber, causing it to inflate and deflate, leading to earthquakes.
