CONNECTION OF LARGE EARTHQUAKES WITH MOVEMENT OF THE MOON AND WITH THE CHARACTER OF TECTONIC PRESSURE OF THE EARTH CRUST
It is clear that if at the some moment the attractive force from the solar system has direction, which coincides with the main tectonic stress of seismoactive region, the probability of an origin of earthquakes must be increased. Based on the above mentioned we carried out searching in order to reveal the exogenous triggering factors of earthquakes and have got the following results: that the majority of earthquakes occur on Caucasus, when: Lunar and total tidal perturbations coincide with a direction of tectonic stress, which is directed, approximately, to North - west in Caucasian seismoactive region (along the above mentioned fault) and it is known as the stretching force. They create 60<sup>o</sup> angle toward to 40<sup>o</sup> meridian.
