It is also quite simple TO PROVE, just plot the course of the moon as it moves around out planet and look at all the earthquakes and eruptions in its path. It has been doing this for years. It has also recently been proved, that the gravitational pull, does indeed effect ALL planets. Just look at the sate of some of Jupiter's moons. Anyone that says the moon does not effect us on this planet and may even cause us earthquakes needs to open their eyes. It does, it always has done and always will do. I myself even said when the even was happening we are going to have one hell of a quake and funny enough we did. We see a major difference between science and common sense, normally common sense wins, in this case looks like it has not...

It would make some sort of sense to think that maybe there is a connection, since the Moon pulls on the Earth, and the majority of earthquakes are caused by tectonic plates slipping past or under each other. However, you can look at the timing of earthquakes versus the distance (and phase) of the Moon, and at best there is a weak correlation between shallow, low intensity quakes and the Moon… and certainly none with major quakes.
