Deeper Earthquake hypothesis

 Here is the probable answer to Question number 4...to Plate tectonics...


How do you explain deeper Quakes?


We have seen that the answer provided by plate tectonics is not logical and even to the extent of being flimsy 


   Now here is the hypothesis....


The tidal pull is applicable at all layers namely..


1)  Oceans ...High tide ..low tide

2) Earth Plates and boundaries....Earthquakes and Eruptions 

3)Atmosphere...Cyclones and cloud bursts

4) On upper Earth crust...Bulging of crust due to tidal effect 

5) Deep below crust ..lower mentle (600 to 2900 km)


We have seen that molten magma creates tidal pull on upper crust and hence quakes and eruptions.

  However there is another such set of partially solid lower mentle (600 to 2900 kms) and below it a liquid mentle (2900 km to 5150 km)

 This liquid ( 2900 to 5150 km) produce tidal pull on the lower menle ( 600 to 2900 km) immediately above it.

 Thus another set of Earthquakes occurs at 600 to 700 km below Earth crust.

   It may be noted here that 6.5+ deep quakes can not occur between 200 to 500 kms depth(hardly occurs) .Plate tectonics can not explain this.

   For Earthquakes to occur there should be a solid ( or atleast partially solid) crust above liquid mentle. There is no such solid crust between 250 to 550 km ( it is after 600 km or up to 150 kms) hence no 6.5+ quake there.

  So 6.5 quakes will generally occur up to 150 kms depth or at depth 600 to 800 kms and not between 250 to 550 kms


I have done some work on 8+ quakes after 

1st January 1990. There are 98 such quakes 

Depth of each of these quake was checked here are the results 

 0 to 20 km..29

 20 to 50...56

50 to 100...4

100 to 200...4

200 to 250...1

250 to 550 kms..Nil..QUAKES 

550 to 800 km..4

Amit;

I have before me a list of astronomical conjunctions from 2005 to 2020 and a list of mag 6+ quakes for the same period.

Now which planets do you consider important in triggering quakes?
