Dave, your theory that sunlight causes earthquakes
has been descredited by the study of surface of Venus,
where no Venusquakes have been evident for 1/2 billion
years.
Dave ,you really must study modern astronomy.
Incidently Venus does not have a moon to provide
the tidal energy to circulate the mantle.
