If the earth is generating an magnetic field (electric or not), then any external preturbance to the field with electrical charges or magnetic forces would tent to push or pull on our (earths) field, thas transfering force to the planet...although weak, I assume a CME could be much stronger than the moons pull on us for a short time. Push or pull quick and let go quick should have some, although minute effect.
Sun-earth environment study to understand earthquake prediction
Mukherjee, S.
American Geophysical Union, Spring Meeting 2007, abstract #IN33A-01
Earthquake prediction is possible by looking into the location of active sunspots before it harbours energy towards earth. Earth is a restless planet the restlessness turns deadly occasionally. Of all natural hazards, earthquakes are the most feared. For centuries scientists working in seismically active regions have noted premonitory signals. Changes in thermosphere, Ionosphere, atmosphere and hydrosphere are noted before the changes in geosphere. The historical records talk of changes of the water level in wells, of strange weather, of ground-hugging fog, of unusual behaviour of animals (due to change in magnetic field of the earth) that seem to feel the approach of a major earthquake. With the advent of modern science and technology the understanding of these pre-earthquake signals has become stronger enough to develop a methodology of earthquake prediction. A correlation of earth directed coronal mass ejection (CME) from the active sunspots has been possible to develop as a precursor of the earthquake. Occasional local magnetic field and planetary indices (Kp values) changes in the lower atmosphere that is accompanied by the formation of haze and a reduction of moisture in the air. Large patches, often tens to hundreds of thousands of square kilometres in size, seen in night-time infrared satellite images where the land surface temperature seems to fluctuate rapidly. Perturbations in the ionosphere at 90 - 120 km altitude have been observed before the occurrence of earthquakes. These changes affect the transmission of radio waves and a radio black out has been observed due to CME. Another heliophysical parameter Electron flux (Eflux) has been monitored before the occurrence of the earthquakes. More than hundreds of case studies show that before the occurrence of the earthquakes the atmospheric temperature increases and suddenly drops before the occurrence of the earthquakes. These changes are being monitored by using Sun Observatory Heliospheric observatory (SOHO) satellite data. Whatever the manifestations in the environment of the atmosphere or geosphere may be, there is a positive correlation of CMEs with change in magnetic field followed by aurora borealis or sudden spark of light from the sky before an earthquake. Any change in geomorphology in the pixel level, changes in groundwater level, geochemical anomalies of soils surrounding active faults and vegetation anomalies should be monitored in the mirror image position of sunspots on the earth facing side in reference to CME from the sun.

Abstract
Earthquake-related luminous phenomena (also known as earthquake lights) may arise from (1) the stress-activation of positive hole
(p-hole) charge carriers in igneous rocks and (2) the accumulation of high charge carrier concentrations at asperities in the crust where
the stress rates increase very rapidly as an earthquake approaches. It is proposed that, when a critical charge carrier concentration is
reached, the p-holes form a degenerated solid state plasma that can break out of the confined rock volume and propagate as a rapidly
expanding charge cloud. Upon reaching the surface the charge cloud causes dielectric breakdown at the air–rock interface, i.e. corona
discharges, accompanied by the emission of light and high frequency electromagnetic radiation.
