Earth's tectonic plates ride on a sea of molten rock or magma, and it's possible that the moon's gravity exercises a pull on the magma in the same way as it affects ocean tides. This would be strongest at times when it (the moon) swings close to the earth, or when the sun and moon are in line with the earth in a sun-moon-earth alignment. Wonder if anyone has collected statistics on this.

What does a full moon have to do with earthquakes?
It is theoretically possible that the gravity of the moon could trigger an earthquake, however earthquakes are the release of stress built up as a result of tectonic plate movement.
How does the moon's gravity compare to Earth's gravity?
The moon's gravity is about 1/6th of Earth's gravity.
Is there gravitiy in the moon?
Yes, there Is gravity on the moon. It is not as strong as the Earth's gravity (it is about 1/6 of the Earth's gravity), but, Yes, the moon does have gravity.
What is The moon has more gravity than the earth.?
"The moon has more gravity than the earth." is a question (about the moon and gravity).
Why is gravity on earth and not the moon?
There is gravity on the moon. The moon's gravity is much weaker than Earth's because the moon has less mass.
What percentage of earth gravity?
The moon has one-sixth the gravity of earth.
How much gravity is on the moon compared to Earth?
The gravity on the moon is about 1/6th of the gravity on Earth.
Do moon have gravity?
Everything has gravity. Your weight on the moon is about 16 percent of what it is on Earth.
What is the gravity on the moon and how does it compare to Earth's gravity?
The gravity on the moon is about 1/6th of the gravity on Earth. This means that objects weigh much less on the moon compared to Earth.
Why was Jonathan frustrated in earthquake terror?
because the gravity of the earth sampak to the moon
How strong is the Moon's gravity compard to that of earth?
Gravity on the Moon is 0.165 that of Earth.
Does the earth's gravity make the moons gravity?
No it doesn't, earth's gravity is only making the moon orbiting the earth not give the moon gravity.
