| Abstract: | From magnetic fields and coronal heating observed in flares, active regions, quiet regions, and coronal holes, we propose
that exploding sheared core magnetic fields are the drivers of most of the dynamics and heating of the solar atmosphere, ranging
from the largest and most powerful coronal mass ejections and flares, to the vigorous microflaring and coronal heating in
active regions, to a multitude of fine-scale explosive events in the magnetic network, driving microflares, spicules, global
coronal heating, and, consequently, the solar wind.
