Comments on: Did the sheer weight of the earth under China help cause the huge earthquake? http://travel-2-china.com/did-the-sheer-weight-of-the-earth-under-china-help-cause-the-huge-earthquake Chinese Travel, Holidays, History and Culture Thu, 17 May 2012 21:40:28 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7 hourly 1 By: A.Ganapathy India http://travel-2-china.com/did-the-sheer-weight-of-the-earth-under-china-help-cause-the-huge-earthquake/comment-page-1#comment-465 A.Ganapathy India Thu, 08 Jan 2009 03:28:07 +0000 http://travel-2-china.com/did-the-sheer-weight-of-the-earth-under-china-help-cause-the-huge-earthquake#comment-465 It should be actually in reverse as per your concept.. Earth quake is caused by the release of force accumulated at the tectonic plate boundary. The full moon days and new moons days are more vulnerable days because the atmospheric pressure or the gravitational forces are reduced due to the straight alignment of planets. More the weight acting on earth surface will help to avoid the release of force from lithosphere. It should be actually in reverse as per your concept..

By damming up the Yangtze River the accumulated weight of water behind the dam which sits on a fault, might be made more active. but it's only a theory, and didn't get much credence, since they are building it anyway.
