Mr Hoogerbeets believes the gravitational pull of the celestial bodies either side of our planet could pull on Earth’s tectonic plates, which will increase tension and ultimately the likeliness of a major tremor.
However, he gives no indication as to when or where the earthquakes may strike.
Writing on the website, the Dutch researcher said: “Due to specific positions of outer planets, we have critical lunar geometry every three-four days which on average may result in more larger seismic activity.
“This situation will continue for several weeks.”
Mr Hoogerbeets reached his conclusion using his Solar System Geometry Index (SSGI) which “is the computation of a dataset for a specific time-frame of values given to specific geometric positions of the planets, the Moon and the Sun”.
