been considered in order to evaluate a significant linkage between them. The
occurrence of strong earthquakes along Chile and the sunspots activity are
analyzed to inspect possible influence of solar cycles on earthquakes. The
cross wavelet transform and wavelet coherence analysis were applied for
sequences of sunspots and earthquakes activity. An 8</span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;\"> </span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">-</span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;\"> </span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">12
