Solar system planetary alignment triggers tides and earthquakes

Abstract

This research hypothesizes that tidal and earthquakes are induced by solar system planet positions, as the planetary attraction act as a trigger force change the speed of the Earth rotation. The occurrence of a sea tide is only a consequence of a relative slowdown of the rotational/revolving speed of the Earth which urges the Earth’s plates to move. The research included analyzing earthquake data for the whole Earth over July, 2019 with a case study of the Arabian Plate (AP) seismicity included the Zagros Folded Belt (ZFB) and Zagros Thrust Zone (ZTZ) as a seismic active belt in the northern hemisphere. The rotational velocity of the Earth has been calculated for eight seismic events, and it turns out that the velocity was different for each case. A negative proportional was found between earthquake and the Earth rotational speed. During the configuration of the Jupiter and Saturn in a straight line with the Earth over July 2019, one thousand and thirty-seven of earthquakes occurred around the world were statistically analyzed having 2–6 magnitudes. Rotational/ revolving speed, angular momentum and rotational inertia kinetic energy; gravitational potential energy of the Earth at equator and at 45 degrees were computed to show how rotational speed triggering plates. Planets interact with each other influencing earthquakes via the gravitational stresses arising from the configuration of the solar system planets that cause a slowdown of the rotational/revolving speed of the Earth. This stimulates the Earth’s plate to move generating earthquake due to the activation of faults.
