Abstract
Earthquake data from California from the period of
January 1, 1969, to December 31, 1971, has been analyzed
by two methods. The first method compares the occurrence
of earthquakes with the Synodic, Draconic and Anomalistic
Lunar Periods. Statistical tests to determine if the earthquakes
are uniformly distributed over each of the three
lunar periods are presented. The second method compares
three components of the tidal force vector and their
derivatives at the times of earthquake occurrences.
