Thanks for the info on quakes relating to solar flares. I've been looking for connections, and the listing you posted was a tremendous help.

I believe the ore deposits in the continents attempt to align themselves with the earths magnetic field, and the plates shift as a result.

Here's a link to the global magnetic anomaly maps at NASA. They show the magnetic properties of the earths crust.
