notice the geocentric caused contradiction between the two statements I highlighted in red. Philip. http://vulcan.wr.usgs.gov/Outreach/AboutVolcanoes/do_tides_affect_volcanoes.html Tidal Lunacy Everybody is familiar with ocean tides that cause the ocean level to go up and down, usually twice a day. We can go down to the beach and watch this tidal action along any coast in the world. On a global level, the ocean tides are actually waves whose crests are half a world apart and traveling from east to west. At most points on the globe, the tidal crest comes by about every 12.5 hours. The engine driving this phenomenon is the gravitational attraction of, primarily, the moon, but also the sun. The earth completes one rotation every 24 hours, and the ocean tides can be imagined as a watery bulge that remains relatively stationary while the planet rotates inside. The biggest tides occur about every two weeks when the sun and moon are aligned (either full or new moon). Hence they are called the "fortnightly" tides. Few realize that the solid earth also exhibits tidal behavior with bulges on opposite sides of the globe, also driven by the moon. At HVO, we can actually measure these tides with our tiltmeters and strainmeters. The earth's surface tilts up to 0.03 microradians in response to the apparent passage of the moon overhead. A tilt of one microradian is the tilt of a solid bar one kilometer (0.6 miles) long with one end raised by the thickness of a dime. To emphasize how small the tidal tilts are, our tiltmeters automatically alert us to the possibility of volcanic activity when tilts change more than 0.5 microradians in 5 minutes.

We even know by measurement that planetary alignments of the solar system effect the earth, and not just the sea, but the magma as well." References?
