| | | the moon
dont know if this in on the right forum , but read an article today that the moon will orbit close to the earth next week, and they reckon it will cause tides to rise, also possibilities of tsunamis, think it mentioned earthquakes as well, also causing chaos with the weather,  rossy. |

There will be higher/lower than normal tides though. |

Spring tides are usually higher more so if bad weather is coming in.
Wikipedia Tide will give you the facts.

Yes, it's what they're calling a 'super-moon', and the papers and radio have been full of strange 'facts'!!
I saw this phenomenon about 20 years ago, and was amazed at the size of the moon. I was coming home from work at close to midnight, and as I drove round a corner was met by a really awesome sight - and no-one else I spoke to had seen it so I began wondering whether it was my imagination! In a nutshell, the moon was at least double its normal size, low-ish to the horizon and very eerie. The 19th/20th March is a date I've got marked on my calendar for the next chance to see this so let's hope it's a clear night. |

A seemingly oversized moon close to the horizon is a well-documented optical illusion. See BBC NEWS | UK | Magazine | Why does the moon look so big now?. Apparently holding a coin at arms length as a comparison of size when the moon is above you and close to the horizon will show you that it is in fact the same size at all times. Not that I've tried it myself...

With the madrid fault line being unstable this what there calling supermoon wont help,also sun activity is high to,you could say it will cause stress maybe a big earthquake somewhere. |

The gravitic influence of the moon or sun is utterly insignificant with regard to tectonic events.
