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.

    The researchers found a statistically correlation between peaks in proton density and the occurrence of large earthquakes (those with a magnitude of 5.6 or higher)

    They observed a one-day time shift between the peak in proton density and the earthquake occurrence. This suggests that the solar activity MAY trigger or influence seismic events with a slight delay.

    There’s an app called Carrington which attempts to show these effects.
