On Thursday I reported on the large numbers of earthquakes in Ohio that seemed to be related to fracking activity. Well, Irving, Texas, had ten earthquakes yesterday and a total of twenty-six since October. The most severe quake measured at 3.6 on the Richter Scale.
The U.S. Geological Survey issued the following, “Activities that have induced felt earthquakes in some geologic environments have included impoundment of water behind dams, injection of fluid into the earth's crust, extraction of fluid or gas, and removal of rock in mining or quarrying operations.”
