It may be more non-scientific based rumor than fact, but I've heard
that some scientists believe the run on plate disturbances can be
attributed to the extraordinary solar flare activity we have experienced
in the past weeks. There's more to linking the two together than is
implied, physically speaking such is 'possible' though may as in this
case be improbable.
Is there any evidence to make this claim legitimate? Or are people
losing all sense of [scientific] reality?

What are "run on plate disturbances"? Do they involve
