If this were true that would be a good thing. Relieve the stress before it builds up to dangerous levels.

Fracking “may have put stress on fault lines.”

I'm certainly NOT a seismologist, but isn't an earthquake a RELEASE of pressure on a fault? And if that pressure is not released, doesn't it build up until there is a major earthquake? Isn't a series of small earthquakes “better” than a large one followed by aftershocks?

If I'm on the right track here, fracking could actually be used to prevent major earthquakes by releasing fault pressure gradually.

OK, seismos. Where am I wrong?

[Jack Hydrazine]

From what I understand there isn’t any fracking going on anywhere near that fault line.

Well no, fracking absolutely can not cause earthquakes, but what it can do is thwart the environmentalist-wacko-left's efforts to deprive the USofA of its natural resources.

Maybe the windmills cause earthquakes.

[TribalPrincess2U]

They had their trucks out front yesterday sending whatever down through the earth. felt the whole house tremble each time. Neat.

Wasn’t there a James Bond movie about that? Grace Slick?

As Howard, Raj, Sheldon, and Leonard have all muttered at one point or another: “What the Frack?!”

[2001convSVT]

The fracking of gas and oil shales is done within a couple of miles of the Earth's surface, the Earthquakes are happen at more than 10 miles down. Fractures creates rarely extend more than a couple hundred feet, and are aimed to run horizontally within the shale.

How can any logical person believe there is a relationship? Please, educate yourself or we are all destine to enter another Dark Age of superstitions and charlatans.

So, where do they have to “frack” in order to make California and the Eastern seaboard fall into the oceans?
