Induced Earthquakes
Within the central and eastern United States, the number of earthquakes has increased dramatically over the past few years. Between the years 1973–2008, there was an average of 21 earthquakes of magnitude three and larger in the central and eastern United States. This rate jumped to an average of 99 M3+ earthquakes per year in 2009–2013, and the rate continues to rise. In 2014, alone, there were 659 M3 and larger earthquakes. Most of these earthquakes are in the magnitude 3–4 range, large enough to have been felt by many people, yet small enough to rarely cause damage. There were reports of damage from some of the larger events, including the M5.6 Prague, Oklahoma earthquake and the M5.3 Trinidad, Colorado earthquake.
Cumulative number of earthquakes with a magnitude of 3.0 or larger in the central and eastern United States, 1970–2016. The long-term rate of approximately 29 earthquakes per year increased sharply starting around 2009.
You people are so full of shit in denying the connection of fracking wastewater disposal to the earthquakes.
And it was also preceded by quake swarms in the years before..given they've only been recorded AFTER injecting fracking wastewater
bs
5.5 in 1952
for example

I knew it! CO2 causes earthquakes!
And the dumb bitch that is governor okayed a bill making it illegal for any town or county to restrict fracking in their area,,,VEEERY interesting given they've only been recorded AFTER injecting fracking wastewater into the earth has become a common practice
Record-tying Oklahoma earthquake felt as far away as Arizona
An increase in magnitude 3.0 or greater earthquakes in Oklahoma has been linked to underground disposal of wastewater from oil and natural gas production.
The Oklahoma Corporation Commission, which since 2013 has asked wastewater-well owners to reduce disposal volumes in parts of the state, is requiring 37 wells in a 514 square mile area around the epicenter of the earthquake to shut down within seven to 10 days because of previous connections between the injection of wastewater and earthquakes.
Discuss.....
With extra legislation allowing them to continue disregarding anyone wishes or will to the contrary.....This could trigger something bigger. That ever occur to anyone? How will the extraction industry cover that calamity?
So CO2 really does cause earthquakes. This new learning amazes meWe know what the absorption spectra of CO2 is, and we fully understand the effects of pumping liquid under pressure into a geologic fault. Those are both causation, not correlation. And with causation, there is correlation.,
