Solar-Terrestrial Relations: Seismicity, Earth: Seismicity

Scientific paper

The relation between solar flares, the seismic activity of the Earth, and neutron monitoring data was investigated for the period from 1975 to 1987, i.e., for the majority of the 21st cycle of solar activity. The correlation coefficient between the energy released by earthquakes and neutron monitoring data was calculated for the whole cycle, as well as for its separate years. This coefficient was rather high in the 21st cycle but less than in the periods of magnetic storms associated with the flares of 1984 - 1985. The analysis of these data leads to the hypothesis that the particle flux recorded by neutron monitors not only has a galactic or solar but also a terrestrial origin and provides constraints on the level of seismic activity of the Earth. Supposedly, this level changing during certain solar flares determines the energy released by earthquakes during the period between two successive flares.
