| 44. in theory, the moon could affect quakes |
|
nobody questions that it affects tides, and tutonic plates are kind of floating

He kind of is - Predicting based on the moon means the moon has influence on the quake |

Tides are caused by the moon, and have no bearing on tectonic quakes |

You need to understand there are other tides besides the lunar. You'd know that |
