Summary

The seismic energy released by global earthquake activity with time was correlated with F=|г|, where |г| is the absolute value of the change of the Sun's acceleration with time. For deep earthquakes and probability P=0.95, the coefficient of correlation was found to be around 0.4. For shallow earthquakes, the dependence was not proved.
