There is a direct correlation between solar flares and earthquakes. As the Moon affects our tides, the Sun affects the mantle, tectonic plates and disrupts electrical activity. When there are large solar flares, within a week we experience earthquakes here on Earth.

Do solar flares from the sun cause auroras near earths poles?

Magnetic storms unleashed by solar flares can cause auroras, but all solar flares don't cause auroras.


Is japan tsunami related to recent solar flares?

There is no scientific evidence linking solar flares to the occurrence of tsunamis. Tsunamis are primarily triggered by underwater earthquakes or volcanic eruptions, causing the displacement of water. Solar flares are bursts of energy from the sun that can affect electronics and communications on Earth, but they do not directly cause natural disasters like tsunamis.


What are 3 types of solar flares?

X-class flares: the strongest solar flares with the potential to cause radio blackouts and long-lasting radiation storms. M-class flares: moderate solar flares that can cause brief radio blackouts near the poles and minor radiation storms. C-class flares: the weakest solar flares that typically have minimal impact on Earth but can still cause some radio interference.


Auroras are the result of energy from solar flares?

Auroras are caused by solar wind particles interacting with Earth's magnetic field, not solar flares directly. Solar flares can cause an increase in solar wind activity, which can lead to more intense auroras.


What do solar flares do to satellites?

Solar flares can cause an increase in radiation levels, which can lead to communication disruptions or malfunctions in satellites. They can also cause damage to sensitive electronic components onboard satellites, leading to potential system failures. Protective measures are taken by satellite operators to minimize the impact of solar flares on their operations.

Does sun flare attack the earth in 2012?

No. There will be solar flares in 2012 - there are flares every year, even the last couple of years during the depth of the deepest solar minimum in the last century - but solar flares do not "attack the Earth". It is possible that a massive solar flare could cause communications outages, or damage satellites, or cause spectacular auroras - but that could happen ANY time. There were a few satellites damaged by solar flares during the last solar max, in 2002, but the doom-sayers were wrong about that one, too.


How are solar flares related to the sun?
