The Real Causes of Earthquakes and Volcanic Eruptions
(There is a statistical evidence that shows most destructive earthquakes and volcanic eruptions take place at the lowest and highest solar cycles activity).
In the last a few decades research papers started to appear in the scientific press that clearly show correlation between cosmic-solar radiations and destructive geological events (earthquakes& volcanic eruptions). These research papers are supported by statistical evidence that go back hundreds of years. I went through some of these researh papers and found an outstanding observed data that are self-explanatory, if one equipped with the correct physics. But, the researchers could not provide correct interpretation of these data. The reason of course is the fundamental defects in the basic laws of physics. Started in the 1967 a study published with the Earth and Planetary Science Letters found solar activity plays a significant role in the triggering of earthquakes. In 1998 a scientist from the Beijing Astronmical Observatory, Chinese Academy of Science, found a correlation between low solar activity and earthquakes.
Another recent research was carried by, the space and science research center in Florida, US published a study that showed strong correlation between solar activity and the largest earthquakes and Volcanic eruptions within the continental united states and other regions around the world. The study looked at the data of volcanic activity between (1650-2009) and seismic (earthquakes) activity between (1700-2009) and then the recorded data was compared with the sunspots record (solar activity).
The results of this study showed very strong correlation between solar activity and the largest seismic and volcanic events. within the continental of the united states and globally. The correlation for volcanic activity was bigger than (> 80 %) and for the largest earthquakes was (100 % of the top 7 most powerful) versus solar activity lows. Additionally, the research concluded the existence of a strong correlation between global volcanic activity among the largest of classes of eruptions and solar activity lows. With the 80.6% occurrence of large scale global volcanic eruptions taking place (> V EI 5) during solar activity lows and with 87.5% occurring for the very largest (> V EI6) eruptions during major solar minimums. here
Possible triggering of solar activity to big earthquakes (Ms≥8) in faults with near west-east strike in China
Abstract This paper studies the relationship between solar activity and big earthquakes (Ms≥8) that occurred in China and western Mongolia. It is discovered that the occurrence dates of most of the big earthquakes in and near faults with west-east strike are close to the maximum years of sunspot numbers, whereas dates of some big earthquakes which are not in such faults are not close to the maximum years. We consider that it is possibly because of the appearance of many magnetic storms in the maximum years of solar activity. The magnetic storms result in anomalies of geomagnetic field and then produce eddy current in the faults gestating earthquake with near west-east strike. Perhaps the gestated big earthquakes occur easily since the eddy current heats the rocks in the faults and therefore decreases the shear resistant intensity and the static friction limit of the rocks.
Experience of short term earthquake precursors with VLF–VHF electromagnetic emissions
Abstract. Electromagnetic anomalies (EMA) covering a wide range of frequencies from ULF, VLF up to VHF have been observed before recent destructive earthquakes in continental Greece. We show that the features of these signals are possibly correlated with the fault model characteristics of the associated earthquake and with the degree of geotectonic heterogeneity within the focal zone. The time evolution of these electromagnetic sequences reveals striking similarities to that observed in laboratory acoustic and electromagnetic emissions during different stages of failure preparation process in rocks. If we consider that the same dynamics governs the large-scale earthquakes and the microscopic scale sample rheological structure, the results of this analysis suggest that the recorded EMA might reflect the nucleation phase of the associated impending earthquake. We focus on the rise of the statistical view of earthquakes. We find electromagnetic fingerprints of an underlying critical mechanism. Finally, we conclude that it is useful to combine ULF and VLF-VHF field measurements in an attempt to enhance the understanding of the physics behind these observations and thus to improve the quality of earthquake prediction. Further, the identification of an EMA as a seismogenic one supports the characterization of a sequence of shocks as foreshocks at the time they occur, further helping the earthquake prediction effort.
On the basis of our experience we conclude that the VLFVHF electromagnetic precursors do exist and that the development of suitable observational techniques and analysis methods is a promising research direction for EQ precursors study

1) Magnetic Polarity Data: http://wso.stanford.edu/Polar.html -- it has stopped updating since 11/23/2013.
2) Jupiter opposes the sun now, and Venus conjoins Mercury on January 8th. Anyone see that coronal hole coming in now?
3) There are some things you cannot un-see. If indeed the IMF and coronal holes are quake factors as I suggested for 2 years, then the underlying magnetics of the sun MUST be relevant to seismicity. I THOUGHT I was going to find an answer to the baffling quake droughts! ...I'm still in shock at how perfectly this matches.
4) Today's news will appear on the website only, in a few hrs, going back to sleep. Be safe everyone.
