Earth Sciences & Geology - July 2006

Yet another crackpot theiry :-)

It seems to me that if two tectonic plates were stressed to the max and ready to slip, that the position of the moon could provide just enough of a tidal pull at just the right angle, to trigger the slip.

Whether or not this insight would lead to any predictive ability is probably marginal. Though perhaps one might correlate increased earthquake (or moonquake even) activity during times of lunar perigee.

while most people believe the earth was once completely liquid, because it was so hot. The gold should have been fallen to the center of the earth because of its high density.

With all the extra people coming across the border and moving there from across the US (and elsewhere), is all the extra weight just going to make it snap off and sink into the Pacific? Does the increase weight make it more likely that the land will put pressure on the San Andreas fault and make earthquakes more likely? Smart-mouthed and scientific answers will both be appreciated.

The Yellowstone supervolcano supposedly erupts every few hundred thousand years, and we're about due for another explosion. Would a well-placed nuclear bomb hurry the process along?
