The Moon exerts a gravitational pull on the Earth, which causes ocean tides. If the tectonic plates were such that we were on the verge of an earthquake anyway, maybe the moon's pull could be the straw that breaks the camel's back, so to speak.
However, when we take of the phases of the Moon, that refers to the way the light from the Sun hits the Moon, affecting how much of it is illuminated as we look at it from Earth. that doesn't affect the gravitational pull.
What else can I help you with?
What causes earthquakesand volcanoes to happen?
The earths plates rub together causing vibrations in the earth. Making Earthquakes If these plates are near volcanoes the friction will melt the magma causing a volcanic eruption.
How are tectonic plates involved in causing earthquakes and volcanoes?
the tectonic plates shake under the earth causing earthquakes
How does the movement of earths plates cause earthquakes?
The plates rub together causing the rocks to move and it causes the ground to shake forming an earthquake. The more the plates move, the bigger the earthquake number.
Would you expect many earthquakes to happen along the ring of fire?
Actually i found the answer. A lot of earths plates are found there and they rub against each other a causing earthquakes.
Does earthquakes cause tsunamis?
because it shifs the earths plates
What causes the damage of earthquakes?
earths plates scraping each other
Earthquakes happen when what section of the earths crust move?
The tectonic plates.
What are most earthquakes cause by?
moving tectonic plates on earths surface
Where do earthquakes usually occurr?
Earthquakes ussually occur near the tectonic plates which cover the earths surface.
How do Haiti earthquakes happen?
they just happen earthquakes are caused from the plates under earths surface moving
How does the surface of the earth change when two continental plates collide?
The Earths surface changes shape when plates collide when the earths surface overlaps or when there are Earthquakes.
How do earthquakes can be used to infer plate boundaries?
alright so when tectonic plates meet there are earthquakes because when the plates collide with each other because the earth is always moving it creates giant earthquakes that push and pull the tectonic plates on the crust of earth causing earth quakes. Volcanoes form at the boundaries of tectonic plates because it is one of the only places on the earths crust where there are holes in the crust so the liquid mantle (lava) can escape through the earths crust. forming volcanoes.
