Hi Phil Rainey here. I'm making a video about why earthquakes and volcanoes are triggering a lot lately. Don't panic this has happened many times over history. Japanese scientists released a study which found a correlation between the solar minimum and eruptions of their volcanoes over the last couple of hundred years.

 

Cosmic rays are positively charged protons that fly around space. Cosmic rays tend to be kept out of the solar system by the sun’s solar winds. Quieter sun equals more cosmic rays on Earth.

 

The Japanese made the assumption more cosmic rays cause more eruptions as they tend to happen in solar minimums. They put a high certainty on that.

 

But cosmic rays do not penetrate far into the Earth so cannot reach down to the magma to affect it.

 

The earth's core is heated by radioactive decay of uranium thorium and other stuff.This can be as hot as the surface of the sun.

 

They used to think that radioactive Decay is constant. Recent experiments suggest that the further away from the sun or the lower the solar output Radioactive Decay speeds up very slightly.

 

Neutrinos are subatomic particles that fly out of nuclear reactions, mostly from the sun. They are very tiny and can pass right through the Earth with only a small percentage of them hitting the nucleus of atoms as it passes through the space in them. They can reach any depth of the Earth. It is suggested more neutrinos slightly slows radioactive decay in the Center of the earth and the lower the sun output the less neutrinos.

 

Solar output is very low at the moment and because of the Solar output been low neutrinos passing through the earth's core is lower and their Radioactive Decay speeds up making the magma in the earth slightly hotter. Magnate expands because of the Thermal Expansion and pushes out on to the Earth's crust and up into the magma chambers of volcanoes increasing volcanic activity.

 

I believe the earth’s core kind of breathes and as it heats up and cools down with the solar output changing, the magma pushing into the volcanoes magma chambers when it heats up and out when it cools down back into the Earth's mantle.

 

There has been a noticeable decrease in solar output in the last few years making more Radioactive decay, and magma heating up pushing into the volcanoes magma Chambers. Including Yellowstone Park where they have picked up a lot of small earthquakes signaling Magma moving in and out of its chambers.
