So is it possible for people to cause earthquakes?
Chosen Answer:
I believe yes.
In Ohio there has been a lot of recent natural gas well drilling which includes a process called ‘fracking’ which puts a chemical mud under high pressure down the well shaft to split open seams containing the gas. People in the areas of some of the wells have reported ground tremors. The drillers deny responsibility but some local authorities are taking notice of the numbers of reports to see if the drilling and tremors are related.
