SUN SPOTS - EARTHQUAKE LINK

Some posts back I did mention that 2014 has been a year where the average earthquake magnitude was lower than before. It has been shown that when the sunspot numbers modulate the earthquakes. In the figure below it is shown that the expected sunspot numbers to drop ober 2015 and beyond. What does that mean? It means that we should see stronger and stronger earthquakes as the year goes by. See http://sunspotwatch.com/ and http://solarscience.msfc.nasa.gov/SunspotCycle.shtml
