The system featured a solar-thermal collector, a thermal storage tank, an air-source heat pump, a sand-filled thermal storage floor, and water pumps.

Researchers explore the likelihood that Earth's climate, as affected by solar heat, plays a role in seismic activity. Using mathematical and computational methods, they analyzed earthquake data ...

“Solar heat drives atmospheric temperature changes, which in turn can affect things like rock properties and underground water movement,” said author Matheus Henrique Junqueira Saldanha.

In the new study, Matheus Henrique Junqueira Saldanha and his colleagues explored the likelihood that Earth’s climate, as affected by solar heat, plays a role. “Solar heat drives atmospheric ...
