Earth directed Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) from Sun has the potential to trigger
Earthquakes and change the tectonics of the earth temporarily. The fifth state of matter
(CME) acts on the geospecific locations of the earth. This is the reason of presence of
specific earthquake regions on earth. Science on terrestrial tectonics is nowadays based
on forms of coasts, present movements of continents, palaeontology, and magnetic
minerals. Earth’s rotation, however, was no interesting factor up to now. A positive
correlation has been inferred in between rotation of the earth, sun and activities of
sun-earth environment on earthquake and tectonics of the earth. Sudden rise in Kp
values after earth directed CME triggers earthquakes. The rise in Kp values takes
place 36 hours before occurrence of earthquake. Location of sunspots are influencing
geo latitude of its mirror image on sun facing part of the earth. In hundreds of cases
it has been observed that earth directed coronal mass ejection be followed by change
in Sun-Earth magnetic field leads to remarkable changes in Earth environment. If the
Coronal mass ejection (CME) is earth directed, it may produce earthquakes if active
fault zones are in that latitude. It is possible to forecast the possibility of triggering
of earthquake by looking into the location of active sunspot before it harbors energy
towards earth.
