1. Earthquakes and storms come from the same cause.


Care to explain more? From my viewpoint, Earthquakes are due to
motions at and beneath the earth's crust - from my layman's point of
view. Extra-tropical storms are formed by interactions of the upper
air with surface baroclinicity (temperature gradients). You really
need both in existence for the deepest "common-or-garden" storms.
Hurricanes form where sea surface temperatures are warmest and the
atmosphere is unstable to convection and there is little vertical
shear. Struggling to find any link here with earthquake formation.

Please don't "react badly all over me". I cannot see any single link
in your first bullet point, which I assume being put first sets the
scene for your theory. Hardly the best of starts. Just trying to
deconstruct your thinking so I can understand.
