Coronal mass ejections can release large quantities of matter (in the billions of tons). The pressure exerted on our planet from this matter (however dispersed it may be by the time it reaches Earth) could apply some amount of force to the planet. You could then say that when combined with gravitational events from other objects in space - that could be enough to make the Solar Flare (more specifically the associated CME) a contributing factor to earthquakes on earth. Not scientific, not research, but I could at least be open to that as a possibility worth looking into. -Cameron .. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:335132 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
