Hightide at Mumbai..and..my tidal pull theory

 Have you ever tried to check the Moon position at the time of Hightide and low tides in oceans at your city sea Shores?


Let me give an example of today's high tide and low tides at Mumbai -India port with height in meters.


Time in Indian Std time..(UTC+5.30 hrs)


Low tide...02.03hrs..1.15 mtrs

High tide...9.19 hrs...3.72 mtrs

Low tide...15.05 hrs..2.41 mtrs

High tide...20.44 hrs..3.24 mtrs

say for example 

at 9.19 hrs IST ie 3.49 UTC ..

Moon is at 110 degree West

Now Mumbai is at 73 degree East.

Thus Nadir postion is 107 west .

The 3 degree difference seen between  107 and 110 is due to Sun.

Actually the pull applicable location is the resultant pull of Moon and Sun.However as Moon has much stronger pull than Sun it is almost nearer to Moon locations 

Thus we can safely assume the tidal pull follows Moon locations.

Now look at low tide

it is at 15.05 IST ie 9.35 UTC

Watch Moon at 9.35 UTC today is 167 East 

ie 73 +90=163 East

Moon is 90 degree away from Mumbai


Again second hightide is at 20.44 IST .3.24 mtr ie 15.14 UTC 

Now watch Moon at 15.14 UTC today it is at 86 East. A margin of 14 degrees.

  This is maximum margin.

Hence in my epicenter location hypothesis  15 margin is taken

  Now imagine the semi solid ,hot lava below the crust ,moving in tendon with ocean water and following the same hightide ,low tide pattern ....

....This is in nutshell...my tidal pull theory of Earthquakes

Amit;

Do you seriously think that the magma moves vertically in response to the moon's attraction?

Under all that rock?

No, there may be an upward force involved but it's nowhere near enough to cause movement.

Here I'd the solid Earth tide

What do you think ,what forces lift these huge 100km thick earthcust?

Look here what USGS says about link between volcanic eruption and Lunar cycle ie Moon gravitational pull

Amit;

Shows how much I know. Damn, that's the third time I've been wrong about something.

Don't remember the other two....

You are too good.
Nevermind.
I have been wrong several times in my life. Sometimes it has caused consequences.
After the age of 75+ if you can do so much things it is too good
I am afraid what all I will be able to do after 75+( I am 68 now)

Amit;

68? just a kid. I'm 88 (89 in November)

Yes
But the Government says ,you are not fit to work after 58 years of age and should retire from service
