Tidal triggering of earthquakes [PDF]
abstractAnalysis of the tidal stress tensor at the time of moderate to large earthquakes fails to confirm an earlier hypothesis that the origin times of shallow dip-slip earthquakes correlate with solid-earth tidal shear stress. Furthermore, no correlation is seen for either tidal shear stress or tidal normal-to-the-fault compressive stress with ...

Tidal stress triggering of earthquakes in Southern California [PDF]
We analyse the influence of the solid Earth tides and ocean loading on the occurrence time of Southern California earthquakes. For each earthquake, we calculate tidal Coulomb failure stress and stress rate on a fault plane that is assumed to be controlled by the orientation of the adjacent fault.

The fortnightly tide and the tidal triggering of earthquakes [PDF]
In this paper we test the southern California network earthquake catalog and the world-wide earthquake catalog for a fortnightly tidal periodicity and find none. In studies that test the hypothesis of tidal triggering of earthquakes, it is usually necessary to resolve the tidal shear stress onto the plane of the fault and in the direction of the ...

Tidal Triggering of Moonquakes [PDF]
It is argued that the moonquakes recorded by sensors at the Apollo 12 landing site between December 1969 and December 1970, and which according to Latham et al. (1971) are believed to be triggered by the anomalistic lunar tide, could be triggered just as well by the latitudinal (or declination) tidal wave.

Radon degassing triggered by tidal loading before an earthquake [PDF]
AbstractThe presence of anomalous geochemical changes related to earthquakes has been controversial despite widespread, long time challenges for earthquake prediction. Establishing a quantitative relationship among geochemical changes and geodetical and seismological changes can clarify their hidden connection.

Tidal Venuses: Triggering a Climate Catastrophe via Tidal Heating [PDF]
Traditionally stellar radiation has been the only heat source considered capable of determining global climate on long timescales. Here we show that terrestrial exoplanets orbiting low-mass stars may be tidally heated at high enough levels to induce a runaway greenhouse for a long enough duration for all the hydrogen to escape.

Earth's crust is continuously subjected to oscillatory stress perturbations due to the solid Earth and ocean tides. The seismic response to such stress modulations carries information on earthquake physics and crustal properties.

Negative lift generation in a tidal device structure [PDF]
Becoming aware of the impact of global warming, all countries of the European Union have agreed to produce 20% of their electricity from renewable energy by 2020.
