Is there a scientific explanation why earthquakes only seem to occur in fine weather and not in storms?

Question

Or is it just coincidental?

Answer 1

Who said that?  Earthquakes occur in all kinds of weather: rain, snow, you name it.  Why in the world would anyone think that earthquakes only occur in good weather, just because you have never seen pictures of them?  Good grief.

Answer 2

Earthquakes are not effected by the weather. It occurs when the Earth releases a large amount of enery in the Earth's Crust--which is the stuff we live on. This shifts the ground. check out the San Andreas Fault, or "Wikipedia It"

Answer 3

Yes, because there is more good weather in places with earthquakes than there are storms.  Otherwise they are not connected.  For example, in Southern California, the odds are about 90% that earthquakes will occur in good weather, because we have good weather about 90% of the time.

Answer 4

Really it is perceptions and not reality that says these things only happen in fine (fair)weather.  In all probability,  there is no difference at all,  it just seems that way.
