THE ARRIVAL OF MAN-MADE EARTHQUAKES


From The New Yorker

Until 2008, Oklahoma experienced an average of one to two earthquakes of 3.0 magnitude or greater each year ... In 2009, there were twenty. The next year, there were forty-two. In 2014, there were five hundred and eighty-five, nearly triple the rate of California. Including smaller earthquakes in the count, there were more than five thousand. This year, there has been an average of two earthquakes a day of magnitude 3.0 or greater.

So, what's happening? You can read the article here.
