Hi All. Here is an article by Richard Michael Pasichnyk. It is from the site “The Living Cosmos” I’m not that familiar with this person, but have read some of his articles and have found them to be accurate. I have seen some of what he states here and other persons have explained other portions to me. Take Care…Don in creepy town. "One fact that calls for new perspectives on plate tectonics is that earthquakes are correlated with solar activity. Solar activity, as indicated by sunspots, solar flares, radio noise, and solar-induced geomagnetic activity, plays a significant role. A maximum of earthquakes occurs at times of moderately high and fluctuating solar activity, particularly solar flares. Strong earthquakes take place when the Earth crosses the central meridian of the Sun, and this understanding has been used to successfully predict some quakes. Moreover, the Sun's retrograde motion is linked to earthquakes and other geophysical phenomena, including climate and volcanic activity. These facts alone indicate that the solar-FEM linkage and electrostatic forces are involved in earthquake occurrence. However, there is much more, as for example in observations of California earthquakes. There is a 22-year solar cycle in San Andreas Fault earthquakes, and an 11-year solar cycle in large earthquakes in southern California. Recent observations of earthquakes in the region disclosed that they have doubled between 1986 and 1989. Furthermore, from August 1988 to February 1989, they were 3.2 times more frequent than the historic rate. Quakes of magnitude 4.5 and greater went from one every four years to one every two months. This increased earthquake activity transpired as a peak in solar activity was taking place. Variations in gravity, earthquake energy, and solar activity were correlated in another study. Many researchers have linked solar activity and quakes, and they all agree that gravitational models do not work. Also revealing the need for new models is the fact that a maximum in earthquakes in some regions occurs shortly after an epoch of very low sunspot activity. Also demonstrating the global system, plate motions have been observed to follow solar activity at 71 stations around the world. The plates more back and forth as the 11-year solar cycle goes up and down. This is why some regions experience quakes during epochs of low solar activity, while in other regions it is increased solar activity. This indicates that there is a global system, regulated by the Fields, and also involves the solar linkage of FEM and electrostatic forces."
