Question Piezoelectric Moon?

This may be the major process generating the electromagnetic field that is being detected by ULF/ELF receivers.
As we have a recent article here about quakes on the moon, I thought Frank's piezoelectric effects described here. So of course I have to ask, has anyone measured piezoelectric effects on the Moon related to quakes? Have you looked at this in regard to the Moon Frank [et al]?

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
