Scientists Discover A Link Between Solar Activity And Earthquakes, And That Has Huge Implications For The Apocalyptic Times We Are Living In
Shocking new research indicates that the level of activity on the Sun has a direct impact on the level of seismic activity here on Earth. That is really bad news for us, because the giant ball of fire that our planet revolves around has become very erratic in recent years. According to NASA, approximately 1.3 million Earths could fit inside the Sun. So virtually all of the models that you have ever seen comparing the size of the Earth to the size of the Sun are way off. We are basically a tiny speck of dust compared to the Sun, and any fluctuations in solar activity have a dramatic effect on our climate.
In general, during times of high solar activity global temperatures tend to go up, and during times of low solar activity temperatures tend to go down. This is something that has been well understood for a very long time, and now a team of scientists in Japan has discovered that there is also a very clear link between solar activity and seismic activity…
Sunspots, and therefore solar activity, cause seismic activity, according to a team led by computer scientist Matheus Henrique Junqueira Saldanha of the University of Tsukuba in Japan. Their new research reveals how.
“Solar heat drives atmospheric temperature changes, which in turn can affect things like rock properties and underground water movement,” Junquiera Saldanha says.
“Such fluctuations can make rocks more brittle and prone to fracturing, for example – and changes in rainfall and snowmelt can alter the pressure on tectonic plate boundaries. While these factors may not be the main drivers of earthquakes, they could still be playing a role that can help to predict seismic activity.”
Needless to say, earthquakes can still happen when solar activity is very low.
But the numbers that this team of researchers in Japan analyzed clearly show that there is a very strong correlation between Earth surface temperatures and seismic activity…
Interestingly, we have seen a tremendous amount of seismic activity within the past couple of years, and this has occurred at a time when the Sun has become extremely active. In fact, last year PBS reportedthat our Sun “is now in its most active period in two decades”…
Experts say the sun is now in its most active period in two decades, causing potential disruptions to radio and satellite communications.
Last May, which was less than a year ago, there was a “barrage of large solar flares and coronal mass ejections” which resulted in one of “the strongest displays of auroras on record in the past 500 years”…
