How does the moon make earthquakes?
It doesn't.
Can super moons cause earthquakes?
So called Super Moons are when the moon is closer to the Earth than usual. There is no correlation between the distance of the Earth to the Moon and earthquakes.
What is an earthquake called on the Moon?
Moonquakes ("earthquakes" on the moon) do occur, but they happen less frequently and have smaller magnitudes than earthquakes on the Earth. It appears they are related to the tidal stresses associated with the varying distance between the Earth and Moon. They also occur at great depth, about halfway between the surface and the center of the moon.
What season do earthquakes occur?
Earthquakes are not a seasonal phenomenon and so the time of year has no effect on the occurrence of earthquakes. As such, earthquakes can happen at any time of the year as they occur independent of weather and climate.
What are the differences between seismic waves on Earth and those on the moon?
on July 1969 we set foot on the moon and created seismic waves (moon quakes) that lasted over an hour that would have lasted only 20-30 seconds on earth(earthquakes). So seismic waves last way longer on the Moon then on Earth.
Can you feel earthquakes on the moon?
no
Are there any earthquakes on the moon?
nada
How does the moon make earthquakes?
It doesn't.
Does the moon have fewer earthquakes because people live on it?
No one lives on the moon.
What does the position of the moon cause?
Waves, sometimes earthquakes.
Can super moons cause earthquakes?
So called Super Moons are when the moon is closer to the Earth than usual. There is no correlation between the distance of the Earth to the Moon and earthquakes.
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.
What connection does the moon sun and earth have with earthquakes?
Gravitational attraction
What are earthquakes called on the moon?
Moonquakes (yes it's that simple!)
What causes most tsunamis earthquakes a full moon a hurricane or a flood?
Of these things, earthquakes are the only ones that can cause tsunamis.
What is a moon quake?
A moonquake is a seismic event on the moon that is similar to the our earthquakes. I recommend checking out Nasa.com for further info....
Does the earth's and Moon's magnetic field play a part in earthquakes?
We can't be certain, but it seems very unlikely that there is any magnetic component to earthquakes.
