Scientific paper

Large earthquakes in southern California with epicentres between 33 and 36 deg N have statistically significant 12-hourly, lunar fortnightly and 18.6-yr periodicities. Smaller earthquakes in the same region do not display these periodicities. A search for tidal effects associated with these periodicities shows that large earthquakes have significant correlations with the times and orientations of daily/semi-daily tidal stresses while the lunar fornightly term is associated with the ocean tides along the southern California coast.
