How come they always say earthquakes have nothing to do with the heat but I always say when it gets hot it's earthquake weather lol and yesterday was a hot one hmmm.

Seems like they happen when it's hot during the day and the pretty cold at night. It seems like that is the trigger. - Nitrobug

@Nitrobug Exactly but they say it has nothing to do with it but hot and cold makes things expand and contract and I always remember quakes when it's been hot weather, can't seem to remember any happening on a cold day - Simplytink

@simplytink, I agree. I thinkbthe earth crust is like a glass cup. When you put it in cold water, then hot, then cold it cracks. My hubby works with Lucy Jones from Caltech, and I keep telling her my theory but she just shakes her head at me. - OutNumberedMom

There is no such thing as "earthquake weather.". Period, end of story. It only reached about 80 yesterday, which is far from hot, especially here in SoCal. If it were true, we'd have the most earthquakes in the summer during La Nina's when it's above 100 for days or weeks at a time. Yet it doesn't work that way. Sorry, but this is a pet peeve of mine. - OffwhiteKnight

Omg thank you @offwhiteknight! My head nearly exploded :) sorry I don't mean to offend, I'm just a geology major, misinformation on quakes (and really any natural disaster) upsets me ;) - NyssaM

Haha. When you think of it logically it seems to make sense. But there is more than enough fact out there that proves it not to be true. It's funny when people ignore science though. - Markandmylady

Remember, it's "only" the curent scientific theory, meaning it's the accepted reasoning until other new information proves more valid, so I'm still with you Tink! think you may be on to something! - Zooter

I still think it's funny that I can't sleep when an earthquake is coming. The last few times there's been night quakes this has happened to me. - CJ

Think about it this way; last night's earthquake was something like 12 miles below the earth's surface. Weather conditions up here can't even touch that deep! Plus, if you look at statistics, just as many earthquakes happen during cooler weather (one example: Northridge, January '94). - Gruyère
