"Seismologists at the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre have found that the earthquake counts go up steadily when the moon comes closer to the Earth (perigee) and also when it is Full Moon." They also indicate that earthquakes happen more frequently at night. The counts are lowest in the afternoon and rise until midnight.

The correlation between earthquake frequency and time of day is small to nonexistent.

(In other words, they happen any old time they want.)

It's scientifically plausible that there might be a correlation due to, for example, tidal effects. It would be an interesting science fair project to attempt to show such a relation.

No, they don't usually happen in the morning, they can happen anytime. The earth doesn't work on a schedule. If the crust wants to move it will move. Day or night.
