The intent of this study was to determine whether earthquakes in the San Francisco Bay area respond to a fortnightly fluctuation in tidal amplitude. A correlation between seismic events and any tidal period would contribute to the understanding of the earthquake process and the stress regime within which faulting occurs. Correlations between the longer tidal periods and seismicity might provide a useful tool for earthquake prediction. The US Geological Survey (USGS) performed a computer evaluation of this prediction method. This article reports the results of the USGS study.
