Worldwide Strong Earthquakes (M6+) vs US Secondary School Enrollment
Worldwide Strong Earthquakes (M6+) and US Secondary School Enrollment correlate at r = +0.44 over 35 years (1971–2022), p = 0.0079. With the time trend removed, r = +0.29. Holds up after detrending.
Verdict: Holds up after detrending. Statistically significant (p = 0.0079) and the association survives trend removal (detrended r = 0.29). Correlation still isn't causation, but this one isn't an obvious artifact.
