do you know why? /u/e_loper

Electroverse explains it quite well if you check out his youtube channel.

Solar minimum means quiet magnetosphere. Which means more cosmic rays make it in. cosmic rays heat up silica magma chambers, causing an uptick in volcanism.

We expected a bunch of these, at this low spot in the current solar cycle. Should be a fair few more going off until 2021, then a quiet bit until 2031, when we enter a prolonged solar minimum and the associated volcanoes and telecoms damages that go with a collapsed magnetosphere.
