Effect of solar activity on electromagnetic fields and seismicity of the Earth

It is shown that bursts of intensity of ionizing electromagnetic radiation from the Sun, as well as geomagnetic storms, cause a statistically significant decrease in the total number of earthquakes on Earth. After bursts of ionizing radiation from the Sun, a statistically significant decrease in the total energy of earthquakes occurs, and after geomagnetic storms, its increase is observed. This is mainly due to an increase in the number of the strongest earthquakes with M S > 7 after geomagnetic storms and a decrease in the number of such earthquakes after bursts of ionizing electromagnetic radiation from the Sun. During geomagnetic storms and for several days after them, the probability of occurrence of strong earthquakes increases more than two times, and after bursts of ionizing electromagnetic radiation from the Sun, this probability decreases almost twice.
