Worldwide Major Earthquakes (M5+) vs US Exports
Worldwide Major Earthquakes (M5+) and US Exports correlate at r = +0.49 over 55 years (1970–2024), p = 1.3e-4. With the time trend removed, r = +0.25. Holds up after detrending.
Verdict: Holds up after detrending. Statistically significant (p = 1.3e-4) and the association survives trend removal (detrended r = 0.25). Correlation still isn't causation, but this one isn't an obvious artifact.
