Abstract

The correlation between solar flares and coronal mass ejections generating solar wind plasma flows towards the Earth and the dynamics in time and power of earthquakes in the area of the Yellowstone supervolcano, that was not previously studied, is considered in four examples. The method of graphical correlation between the values of solar wind parameters, which bursts are directly related to the activation of solar processes, and subsequent increases in the values of earthquake magnitudes and their repeatability was used as a research tool. The author assumes that an additional energy input occurs to shallow earthquake foci and increases their power due to the action of breakthrough injections of plasma clumps into the Earth’s near-surface area detached into the magnetosphere geo-effective solar wind components. The problem under discussion is considered to be acute in connection with the work carried out here to predict a volcanic eruption. In the general scientific plan, it is proposed to include earthquakes study in programs of education as one of points for registration the influence of factors of solar-wind origin.
