I'll try and answer three posts together.

I wasn't being sarcastic. If you are suggesting (as I understood you to be) that earthquakes and lightning are correlated, then the global distribution of places prone to earthquakes and places prone to lightning should be similar. They aren't. Cameroons is one example at random. Colleagues of mine did some seismic monitoring of Lake Nyos many years ago and recorded nothing.

Earthquakes are not THAT poorly understood. There is an immense amount of data that has been worked on, and you should really try to familiarise yourself with more of it before imagining that work verified by many hundreds of eminent scientists should be chucked on account of an unsupported hunch that there might be some better hypothesis.
