Computer models that factor in the Sun's impact on Earth's surface temperatures are providing more accurate simulations of ...
Researchers have found a link between the sun's heat and Earth's seismic activity. Learn more about how this discovery could ...
Earthquakes have long been considered unpredictable, but a new study suggests that solar activity could play a role in ...
Jakarta is one of the largest cities in the world and one of the most earthquake-prone. It is located within the Pacific Ring ...
On a dynamic planet like Earth, it can be easy for drivers of change to go unnoticed – but scientists have now established and investigated an unexpected link between the Sun and our homeworld.
"Solar heat drives atmospheric temperature changes, which in turn can affect things like rock properties," the researchers said.
For decades, seismologists have worked to understand and predict earthquakes, but forecasting remains elusive. Now, ...
Solar heat may influence earthquakes and their timings by altering rock brittleness and underground water movement.
Tectonic plates move, causing strain energy to build up, and that energy eventually releases in the form of an earthquake. As ...
In the journal Chaos, researchers in Japan explore the likelihood that Earth’s climate, as affected by solar heat, plays a role in seismic activity. Using mathematical and computational methods, they ...
