Hmmm Moon and earthquakes. a cursory search:

available if you are logged in to New Scientist "Tidal link to earthquakes revealed at last" - "Daily news 22 November 2007"
" - also referenced as [ Science (DOI: 10.1126/science.1150558) ]

Even the previous iteration of the collider in Cern had to factor in the state of the Tide in the North Sea. The crust and mantle bending with the weight of the water caused by er, um, er (don't prompt me) ahhhhh - the Moon. (if I can correctly say that).

And just because I am currently reading page 16 of the 19 Sept New Scientist (In Brief) where it reports the "Moonquakes" attributed to the ovality of the Moon's orbit (aka tidal friction). And that on a body with no plate tectonics to dominate!

All this before I quiz my Brother-in-law Dr Keith Lewis - a retired senior marine geologist at NZOI/NIWA. And earthquakes figure very highly in GodZone! He could cite quite a few very dry articles I warrant, not the least his own maybe! Too right mate!
