. This influence is well-recognized, but what’s less known is that the moon also pulls at the Earth’s crust, especially during alignment with the sun, whose bulk reinforces the Moon’s gravity. When that pull causes fault lines to buckle, the results can be catastrophic.
As an example of this, the researchers mention the 2004 Sumatra earthquake and associated tsunami, which killed 230,000 people. They also reference the earthquake that caused the Fukushima nuclear plant meltdown as another symptom of tidal stress. (Earthquakes continue to be a severe threat to people around the planet: The USGS Earthquake Hazards Program found that, between 1990 and 2014, there were dozens of earthquakes that caused at least a thousand fatalities.)

Pshaw. Anaxagoras disagrees.

According to Anaxagoras the flat earth is maintained in the middle by the force of an eddy going round it, the same force that originally caused it to settle in the middle, as large bodies do in a whirling pool of liquid or an eddy of air. The earth can, however, be disturbed when the air which buoys it up on the under side rises through heat and impinges on it, causing it to toss like a ship on the sea and this results in an earthquake.
Y'all just a bunch of science deniers.

I'm not worried. Our next President will save us. Trump will deport the moon and build a wall around it...or Hillary will just delete it.
