Beyond Landscheidt.... | Planetary Theory Moves to the Next Level
Research shows that large earthquakes occur at low sunspot frequencies. A sample of global earthquakes greater than Magnitude 6 for the period 1973-2005 (USGS) compared to smoothed monthly sunspot figures (SIDC) show that 71% of earthquake energy is released and 59% of earthquake events occur at lower than average sunspot activity.
Overall the data also broadly supports the assertion that the larger the earthquake size the lower the average sunspot frequency at the time. Further the top 12 largest earthquakes over the past hundred years (USGS) on average occurred at lower than average sunspot levels.
Average sunspot count of 16.99 for top 12 earthquakes in the last century
