Extra-tropical storms are formed by interactions of the upper

You really need both what? We always have upper air and we always have
baroclines.

Yes but where we have jetstreams (and their associated vertical
circulations where there are jet maxima), these can interact with
strong regions of baroclinicity (i.e. temperature gradients i.e. the
polar front) - and form low pressure systems. There's lots of
textbooks with all this in - dare say that Martin's FAQ contains some
stuff.

Hurricanes form where sea surface temperatures are warmest [not] and the
atmosphere is unstable to convection and there is little vertical
shear. Struggling to find any link here with earthquake formation.

I never said that earthquakes are caused by storms. Where did you get
that idea from?

By the fact that you put earthquakes side by side with storms. OK -
maybe I got that bit wrong, but you consistently think the two are
linked. I don't and cannot believe that they are.

It is worth bearing in mind that although somewhere is experiencing an
earthquake at any given moment but that the larger kinds tend to come
and go with the weather.

Define "weather", please !! Are you talking common or garden sunny
weather or just bad weather. Or are you just being deliberately hand-
wavy?!

As for that misbegotten but forgotten appendage that thinks I don't
know aught about tides, I do know enough about physics to shut his
trap if I come across his unmemorable name again.
1. The time of the phase of the moon can be used to predict
geophysical phenomenon. (Sorry I don't know any baby words for that.)
3. I have been at great pains for several years now patiently trying
to explain to the most recalcitrant (stupid) of imbeciles (here).
4. Despite what I perceive (see) to be wilful misconstruction
(intentional stupidity) I plod on trying to educate the boneheaded.
(There are some dumb illegitimates on here.)

Do you wonder why you get so many people's backs up?! Maybe if you
entered into reasoned, polite discussion you might get more people
interested in your theories.

6. The cause of the weather can not be the weather.

I think I give up, I don't understand a word of what you've written.
Tides, multiple earthquakes, and their link to "weather". Help! I'm
clearly not in your intelligence bracket and you're clearly right even
though none of us have realised it, and I'm wasting my time here. I
bid you good luck in getting anyone to jump on board your slightly
bizarre bandwagon.

If I was paid shekels instead of heckles I might even bother.

Goodbye.
