1. Astropedia 5.4: From the moon, the Earth would appear to have a full moon since it would all be illuminated. The first quarter is the highest point, which is at 6:00 PM. The full moon will rise at 6:00 PM and reaches it highest point at 12:00 AM, midnight.
2. Astropedia 5.6: During a new or a full moon, the gravitational pull that the moon has on the earth that causes the tides is a bit stronger. The gravitational pull is what increases the chance of an earthquake occurring and this is more likely to occur when the gravitational pull is acting on the tectonic plates, which could cause them to shift or move, which would cause an earthquake.
