Why plate tectonics can not predict major Earthquakes?

 Yes ,there is some exaggeration in this. However it is a fact that tidal pull of Moon ,Sun and major planets induce high tide in the molten magma in side the crust and also make Earth crust buldge to the extent of 1 ft .

 Now ,my theory of Earthquake prediction says ,when on a potent date ( when Moon Sun are closer , full Moon, New moon ,Jupiter closer ie less than 5 AU -Astronomical unit ) the tidal pull breaks the weaker fault line and quake occurs. If it can break open mouth of volcano an eruption occurs

 I only know one thing.

if we know ,exactly how and why major Earthquakes occur, we should be able to predict it precisely. 

 Say we have equation

Force = Mass x acceleration. 

if we know two values of three we should be able to find third.

 Now in plate tectonics, we know..

plate area, depth of planets, average density of plates( Hence weight and mass), we know velocity of plates ( Hence kinetic energy =1/2 m(square of velocity)

we know ,surface area of contact between two plates and hence compression/shear force per unit area.

 Test the sample of crust in laboratory for compression and shear strength apply factor of safety and...AND...AND..

Declare a date when the plate boundaries will exceed tested shear strength..

 ..PLATE TECTONICS SHOULD BE ABLE TO PREDICT MAJOR QUAKES PRECISELY

Amit;

This is out of place but I'm tired.
