X-class solar flares are increasingly triggering volcanoes.

This study examines the relationship between solar and seasonal activity and seismic and volcanic processes on Earth. It examines the "X-flare rule" hypothesis, which posits that peaks in solar activity, particularly flares and geomagnetic disturbances, can have a short-term impact on tectonic stress in the Earth's crust. Statistical data on earthquakes and volcanic eruptions during different seasons and phases of the solar cycle are analyzed, revealing patterns in the frequency and intensity of natural disasters. The study aims to clarify possible mechanisms for the interaction of external cosmic factors with geological processes, which could contribute to improving the predictive accuracy of seismic and volcanic events.
