A tsunami could occur at any time, as they are often triggered by something like an earthquake. They are not always down to tidal influences.

The moon's gravitational pull on Earth affects ocean tides, but not tsunamis directly. Tsunamis are typically caused by underwater earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or landslides, not by the moon's influence.


Do eclipses occur during full moons?

No. To get a solar eclipse the moon has to be in a position between the sun and the earth, this happens only round the time of the new moon (when there is little or no moon visible). When the moon is full, the earth is between the sun and the moon (there could therefore be a "lunar" eclipse).


Why and when do the lunar and solar eclipses occur?

Lunar eclipses occur when the Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon, causing the Earth's shadow to fall on the Moon. Solar eclipses happen when the Moon passes between the Sun and the Earth, blocking the Sun's light from reaching Earth. Lunar eclipses can only happen during a full moon, while solar eclipses can only occur during a new moon.


What type of patterns do eclipses form?

Eclipses form predictable patterns based on the alignment of the Sun, Earth, and Moon. Solar eclipses occur during a new moon when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, casting a shadow on Earth. Lunar eclipses occur when Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon, causing Earth's shadow to fall on the Moon.


Why does eclipse exists?

Eclipses occur when the Earth, moon, and sun align in a specific way, casting shadows on each other. Solar eclipses happen when the moon passes between the Earth and the sun, blocking the sunlight. Lunar eclipses occur when the Earth comes between the sun and the moon, causing the Earth's shadow to fall on the moon.
