If it is fracking, why aren’t these same earthquake spikes happening everywhere fracking is taking place?
I’m not able to tell you what it is or isn’t in terms of cause or causes. The only thing I can tell you is that it’s an absolutely dramatic increase in earthquakes, whereas it was at 1 to 3 of them a year (for decades in the past) and in the last few years, it has spiked to (right now) over 500 year. That’s mind-boggling. And we’re talking about anything over 3.0 and not the less than 3.0 ones.
I guess it will have to take some serious study to find out what is behind this mind-boggling and dramatic increase of Oklahoma earthquakes from 1-3 a year to over 500 a year (again, the over 3.0 ones).
