Within 5 days of New Moon.
Basis on short term study focusing on the relationship between lunations and the rate of earthquakes greater than M6.0.
New moons did indicate that there was a correlation between the number of earthquakes and the period prior to a new moon.
this correlation was significant at the 95% confidence level. The P-Value is 0.047303. The result is significant at p < 0.05.
Conclusion:
