Solar-driven temperature shifts alter rock properties and underground water movement, potentially making the Earth’s crust ...

The researchers suggest incorporating solar heat data into earthquake forecasting models could enhance prediction accuracy.

Solar heat may influence earthquakes and their timings by altering rock brittleness and underground water movement.

Additional information collected about the earthquake may also prompt U.S.G.S. scientists to update the shake-severity map.

"Solar heat drives atmospheric temperature changes, which in turn can affect things like rock properties," the researchers said.

"While these factors may not be the main drivers of earthquakes, they could still be playing a role that can help to predict seismic activity," Saldanha has stated. "That makes sense since heat ...

Heat from the sun affects earthquake activity on Earth, suggests new research. Incorporating solar activity predictions into detailed Earth temperature models may improve seismic forecasts - and ...

Heat from the sun may play a role in earthquake activity on Earth, according to a new study published Tuesday in the science journal Chaos. Researchers from Japan's University of Tsukuba and the ...

Additional information collected about the earthquake may also prompt U.S.G.S. scientists to update the shake-severity map. An aftershock is usually a smaller earthquake that follows a larger one ...
