Solar Flares Cause Quakes, Oscillations on Sun
Scientists have determined that solar flares in the Sun's outer layers that causes quakes, produce strong oscillations throughout the star the same way as the entire Earth is set ringing for several weeks after a major earthquake.
Christoffer Karoff and Hans Kjeldsen of the University of Aarhus in Denmark, came out with the new theory.
According to a report in Nature News , the possibility that post-quake vibrations also occur in the Sun, was first proposed in the 1970s, but has not been demonstrated until now.
