spaceflight, 3 months ago As positively charged protons from the #Sun ☀️ crash into #Earth’s 🌍 protective magnetic bubble, they create #electromagnetic currents that propagate across the globe. Pulses created by these currents could then go on to deform quartz in Earth’s crust, ultimately triggering #quakes. https://www.astronomy.com/science/powerful-eruptions-on-the-sun-might-trigger-earthquakes/ "We found clear correlation between proton density and the occurrence of large #earthquakes" https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-020-67860-3 #SpaceWeather #SolarStorm #Earthquake #Astronomy
