"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 ...
