Will the "super moon" really affect the earth's tides and trigger a large-scale earthquake and tsunami?

1979, an American astrologer called the perigee full moon "super moon", which has been in use ever since. As we all know, the orbit of the moon around the earth is elliptical, so the distance between the earth and the moon is not fixed, but keeps getting closer or farther with the movement of the moon. When the moon reaches perigee, it will be brighter and look bigger in the earth's night sky. However, according to scientists, it is difficult for ordinary people's naked eyes to accurately see the difference between the size and brightness of the moon.

Although it sounds like a rare astronomical phenomenon, it is not difficult for people on earth to see the true meaning of "super moon". Almost every year, there are at least 4-6 super moons. In the first quarter of this year (1-March), there are three super moons, and the super moon on the night of February 19 looks the biggest. However, for many people, the appearance of "super moon" is not a good thing. Many people think that the extreme disaster on the earth is caused by the super moon.

Why do people say that? This is because when the distance between the earth and the moon is closer, the plates on the earth will be affected by the increase of gravity, so natural disasters such as volcanic eruptions, large-scale earthquakes and tsunamis will follow. Here are some examples. In early 2005, a very serious tsunami broke out in Indonesia. At that time, tens of thousands of people were killed in the tsunami. Two weeks after the tsunami, a "super moon" appeared on the earth.

According to statistics, in many years, such as 1955, 1974, 1992, 2005, 20 1 1, with the appearance of the super moon, many extreme weather and natural disasters occurred on the earth. So, will the super moon really bring disaster to the earth? ?

Although the appearance of the super moon does affect the earth's tides, it will not cause an earthquake. In the past 1 century, the number of catastrophic earthquakes on the earth was around 108, and there was a catastrophic earthquake almost every year. From the time axis, there is no necessary connection between the mega earthquake and the super moon.

In addition, there is a view that the probability of malignant cases will increase a lot when the super moon occurs, but this is even more nonsense. At present, there is no evidence that the super moon will bring disaster to the earth, so don't worry.
