Researchers say they now believe they know more about why cosmic radiation hitting Earth can make our planet shake even more.
A team of Polish researchers say they've compiled data in a new study that further clarifies why when powerful cosmic radiation slams into Earth, it appears to cause more shakes and intense earthquakes. They found that seismic activity worldwide appeared to align with what is known as the average variation on the intensity scale for the secondary particles that are made by cosmic radiation.
This all leads to Earth's magnetic field, and the eddy currents in Earth's liquid core, to change the trajectory of charged primary cosmic radiation particles. Piotr Homola, a coordinator with the Cosmic Ray Extremely Distributed Observatory , said,"The idea that there is a link between earthquakes and cosmic radiation, in its primary form reaching us mainly from the sun and deep space," appears weird.
