What effects do solar flares have on the solar maximum emission?

Solar maximum is a period of time in which solar flares are more common and more powerful. Sometimes there are coronal emissions that send a massive amount of plasma hurling through space at speeds close to or over one million miles an hour. All they really do is cause the Aurora Borealis (northern lights), however if the earth were to be hit hard enough that the plasma overwhelms the magnetic field it could strip away our atmosphere and earth would be as livable as Mars. The next solar maximum cycle will begin in 2012. Astronomers believe that it will be the most powerful cycle ever seen. So starting in October of 2012 go outside and look for the Aurora Borealis. Last time we had a maximum such as this the lights were seen as far south as Rome, Italy.

What effects can solar flares have on Earth directly?
Solar flares can cause interference with electronic equipment (like cell phones) and because we have magnetic poles, the radiative particles that do make it to the atmoshpere become the northern lights.
What do solar flares discharge?
Solar flares discharge radiation and charged particles.
Solar flares may be seen in the sun's?
You can see Solar Flares in the Suns' Corona. corona (apex)
Is japan tsunami related to recent solar flares?
No. Solar flares have nothing to do with tsunamis.

What changes in 11-year cycles?
Solar flares and sun spots cycle every 11 years. i.e. Every 11 years solar flares are at a maximum before repeating the cycle.
