FACT CHECK

Does the piezoelectric effect in Earth’s polar ice sheets, when combined with the piezoelectric properties of quartz-rich crustal layers beneath, amplify voltage generation to a level that impacts Earth’s atmosphere (e.g., geomagnetic storms, auroral activity) or tectonic plates (e.g., microseismicity, fault activation) under normal conditions and during extreme coronal mass ejection (CME) events like those occurring during solar maximum (e.g., 2025)?Show full question
