- jiveturkey 8y agoare you saying that the sound of this recent eruption was also heard 'round the world?
- NegativeLatency 8y ago> the tidal force caused by the full moon. Is that real? Doesn’t seem like it would matter enough. Especially when there was an eruption, why even mention it.
- goodcanadian 8y agoYes, it's real. Tides are higher around the full moon due to the earth, sun, and moon being (roughly) aligned. If it was already high tide, adding a tsunami on top of it is going to be more impactful than at low tide.
