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

Scientists have found evidence that the moon may trigger earthquakes on Earth due to its gravitational pull on the oceans. While datasets were not good enough to show the link between the moon and earthquakes in the past, recent studies have found a small but significant correlation. The moon's impact is seen clearly in underwater earthquakes, where its pull on the oceans can cause the magma chamber of a volcano to inflate and deflate, putting more pressure on the fault line and making it more likely to create an earthquake. The moon also causes tiny tides in rocks.
