An Analysis of Earthquake Data with Respect to the Tidal Force.

Abstract

Earthquake data from California from the period of January 1, 1969, to December 31, 1971, has been analyzed by two methods. The first method compares the occurrence of earthquakes with the Synodic, Draconic and Anomalistic Lunar Periods. Statistical tests to determine if the earthquakes are uniformly distributed over each of the three lunar periods are presented. The second method compares three components of the tidal force vector and their derivatives at the times of earthquake occurrences. (Author)
