Abstract:
Recent solar images from instruments such as IRIS, FIRS, IBIS and SDO reveal interesting

properties of the chromosphere and other layers above flaring active regions .

These may finally give us some clues on why some solar flares allow an energy input back into the photosphere, generating sunquakes.

We will discuss recent observations of sunquakes and analyse the main role of the "right chromosphere" for a sunquake event.
