Few questions to plate tectonics ( existing earthquake theory)

 Hi 

 The existing earthquake theory says..

The Earth consists of floating plates ( 100 to 150km thick) on the molten lava of about 6000 kms.These plates keep on moving due to earth rotation and heat inside the crust (ie heat currents). The plates move against each other and collide at plate boundary. When slowly, over the years the stress built up along the Earth crust is more one plate slides over another ,releasing the stored energy built up up over hundreds of years  Now some questions

1 ) Why there are major quakes at places other than plate boundaries ( one like Latur ,in India)

The answer given by supporters is..... There are faults inside the plate also... If it is so ,how can it have relative motion with another plate?

2) Why some dates are more prone to major earthquakes?

 Watch out for dates when

a) Moon is closest

b) Moon at maximum declination

c) Full Moon, New Moon , Eclipses

d) When Sun is closest

e) When Sun and Moon declination are same ( north or south)

f ) When Jupiter is closest or Changing direction

g ) When Venus or Mars are closest or changing directions

3) The faults between two plates are developed later (ie after Earth is cooled ) or there from beginning. 

Because ,if there are splinting forces acting when Earth was cooling down , they will not allow to form the crust 

4) Why there are small quakes ( less than 3 or 4 magnitude ) daily?. Because ,this theory says ,when the stresses are built up externally high ,then only one plate slides over the other

 What I say is

 Yes , there are plates .

There are faults

 Most of the quakes occurs  on plate boundries

plates slide over one another during major quakes .....

But..but... this is because...

THE PLATES FAULTS ARE DUE TO QUAKES AND NOT THE QUAKES ARE DUE TO PLATE FAULTS .

 My basic theory is like this

 The Earth consists of some 150km thick plates and below that ,some 6000 km of hot molten lava.

Whenever ,there is more tidal pull due to various planet positions there occurs high tides and low tides in the molten semisolid lava below the Earth Crust.

 When the pull exceed certain threshold limit  , it break open the existing fault line and major earthquake occurs. If it can rupture the crust completely , it becomes a volcanic eruption.

 So ,in principle ,the prediction norms for major quakes and eruption are the same
