Solar heat can affect earthquakes. Levon Azizyan, director of the Hydrometeorological and Monitoring Center, wrote about this.
"The study shows how the heat impacts can contribute to the change in tension in the country's lithosphere. There are mechanisms through which solar activity can affect seismic activity. These include heat stresses and indirect effects as a result of the change in atmospheric and ocean conditions.
Researchers at the National Institute of Industrial Science and Technology in the Japanese University and Japan have been linked to the heat and seismic activity. Their research has shown that the solar heat can affect the temperature of the atmosphere, changing the properties of the rocks and the movement of groundwater. These changes make the rocks more fragile and prone to crack, as well as affect the pressure on the borders of Tectonic slabs.
The analysis of earthquakes, solar activity and earth temperature has shown that the inclusion of climate data improves the accuracy of earthquake's forecasts, especially in case of superficial seismic events. This revelation can take an important step towards improving early warning warning systems. "
