SPACEQUAKE ALERT: Solar Tsunami to Strike Earth

FOX NEWS:

Earth is bracing for a cosmic tsunami Tuesday night as tons of plasma from a massive solar flare head directly toward the planet.

The Sun's surface erupted early Sunday morning, shooting a wall of ionized atoms directly at Earth, scientists say. It is expected to create a geomagnetic storm and a spectacular light show -- and it could pose a threat to satellites in orbit, as well.

"This eruption is directed right at us and is expected to get here early in the day on Aug. 4," said Leon Golub of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. "It's the first major Earth-directed eruption in quite some time."

Editor's note: This solar tsunami may produce more than a spectacular light show. As previously reported, when the earth is in the path of solar storms, the earth's magnetic field takes a beating, which can cause:

• earthquakes


• severe weather events

Scientists now report that "spacequakes" occur in the earth's upper atmosphere during the solar assault upon the earth. Magnetic vortices are formed that direct the energy of the spacequake toward the surface of the earth, with the force of a magnitude 5 to 6 earthquake.

The earth's defenses against this solar assault are significantly weakened with the discovery 0f a giant breach in the earth's magnetic field.

Here's a recipe for solar induced, terrestrial disasters:

• direct impact of the coronal mass ejection ( solar storm )


• the backlash of the subsequent magnitude 5 0r 6 spacequake


• the giant breach in the earth's magnetic field


• the ramping up of the solar maximum now and peaking in May 2013.
