Why an earthquake usually occur during morning times?

Question

I'm asking because for example: in some places earthquakes have occured just before or after sunrise. Does anybody know why it happens? Also, I've noticed they happen almost the same month of a year and a mayor one occurrs in a sismic zone country every five years approximatetly. Could gravity have to do with times earthquakes ocurr. too?

Answer 1

there is no correlation between earthquakes occurring at specific times of the day, only a rough estimate of yearly or possible monthly basis at active sites due to the forces of plate tectonics.

Answer 2

Yes sir I know the reason. Please think of Tug of war game. The people are pulling the rope from both the sides.But when one side fail to pull the other side person will fall. The same way the tectonic plates are made out of rocks that is also a type of metal that expands due to heat. And contracts when it is cooled down. The tectonic plates are under heavy stress before it erupt and generate earthquakes.The early morning the temperature becomes low and the tectonic plates gives way to slip. Therefore most of the earthquakes are taking place in the early morning. I want to tell you another fact also about earthquakes. The new moon and full moon days are more vulnerable days for earthquakes because there is a force already acting under tectonic plates that tries to come out.The new moon and full moon days are disturbing the gravitational force that helps and give a new pull up force from out side of earth.When the pushing force from inside earth and pull up force acting on top of earth helps to accelerate the process of earthquakes.

Cite your references please...earthquakes happen 24/7....the latest bad one in China happened just after 2 PM.

Answer 4

earthquakes just happen you knowno pattern or anything earthquakes are caused by plates moving under the surface of the earth they are allways moving everyday millions of earthquakes occer most of them are just to small to detect
