The analysis of two global data sets of large earthquakes (2010 - 2011, 30samples of M \geq 7R and 1901-2011, 178 samples of M \geq 8R) reveals thatthere exists a cause and effect relation between the vertical tidal M1component amplitude peak and the time of occurrence of the latter EQs. Aphysical model mechanism is postulated that justifies the obtained results. Itis shown that the tidal waves can trigger a large EQ, despite their smallamplitude, provided that the seismogenic area is under critical stress loadconditions. Actually, it is shown that a large EQ can be triggered by thecooperative action of all vertical tidal components but mainly by the M1 and K1ones. Examples are presented from the most recent global large EQs (Summatra,Mw = 9.1, 2004 and Japan, Mw = 9.0, 2011) and from Greece (Kythira, Greece, Ms= 6.9R, 2006 and Skyros, Greece, Ms = 6.1R, 2001). The postulated physicalmodel provides the means for the implementation of the first step towards areally short-term earthquake prediction.

Can large (M >= 8) EQs be triggered by tidal (M1) waves? An analysis of the global seismicity that occurred during 1901 - 2011
