Effect of orientation of lunar apse on earthquakes
The number of earthquakes of magnitude 3.0 to 4.9 between 2000 and 2005 increased when the minimum perigee moved from North Pole to South Pole. The decrease in earthquakes of magnitude 1.0- 2.9 after 2003 in Mediterranean region was accompanied by an increase of earthquakes of magnitude 3.0- 4.9 in...

| Summary: | The number of earthquakes of magnitude 3.0 to 4.9 between 2000 and 2005 increased when the minimum perigee moved from North Pole to South Pole. The decrease in earthquakes of magnitude 1.0- 2.9 after 2003 in Mediterranean region was accompanied by an increase of earthquakes of magnitude 3.0- 4.9 in Pacific sea region. The minimum perigee nearer to South Pole of Earth decreased the number of earthquakes of magnitude 5.0 to 5.9 from 1542 in 1994 to 979 in 1998. The minimum perigee nearer to North Pole of Earth increased the number of earthquakes |
