Description

Solar Cycle 25 continues to wind down from a very active phase (solar maximum) from 2023-2025 towards an upcoming solar minimum expected to begin around 2029. With there having been powerful earthquake activity during this last solar maximum (driven in part by unusual continuous trans-equatorial coronal hole activity), it appears global high-magnitude earthquake activity for the next few years will be especially pronounced, especially in light of how we're still near the bottom of the Gleissberg Solar Cycle and we're in a "megaquake deficient" since 2021. Earth normally has one M8.0+ megaquake per year on average, and since August of 2021 there has only been one (M8.8 Kamchatka July 2025). Geophysicist Stefan Burns reports on the changing solar activity and global earthquake activity landscape and highlights the key zones to watch that are well overdue for a "Big One"...

Hey guys, this video is PACKED with info so please watch all the way through as I'm not going to repeat all this over and over in future videos! Additionally for what it's worth, the dream I had this morning was of hearing that Russia was struck by a magnitude 9.1 earthquake. Probably just a random dream as I research this stuff so much, but I thought some of you would like to know as dreams can be precognitive! Hoping for the best but prepared for all possibilities! It's good to be aware and prepared, but please don't stress about Earth's natural cycles and rhythms, instead enjoy life and have fun with the time we're all given! - Stefan

Hey everyone! FYI I jumped on Michael Jaco's channel recently and we has a big chat about the Sun, Earth, planets, and more! It's a really easy listening podcast, and Michael is a great guy so please give it a listen! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wGifxOgpD3E&list=PLmDtCUI1Qi9Qvw-2sVQqJ2qkItLj0sTxZ
