Answer» Hey! this is Off Topic! The full title is: Scientists think fracking can cause earthquakes, but they don't know how Here is the link.
In the USA and Canada, fracking for oil is a process of breaking up underground rocks to release the stuff inside. Some people think it is harmful.
Is there some way computers could be used to make a model of what is doing on? That way there would be a credible answer to the problem. Oklahoma has gotten very seismic active due to pumping, and I think they are also fracking from what a person told me when I was out there last on gov business trip.
With EVERYTHING that is pumped out I think personally Oklahoma's issue is caused by a settling of the land that use to float on the liquid pool below it. However fracking could be causing solid ROCK that is under strain to release pressure as an earthquake when it destabilizes by losing its structural integrity.
They had 8 earthquakes in last 24 hours, and its almost a daily detection of multiples... The only good thing is that they are small ones lesser than 4.0 usually.
[attachment deleted by admin to conserve space]One would think if pump out liquid underground eventually it would settle. Not LIKE water that is pumped out underground it just runs back in again.Thanks for the replies. For What It Is Worth: IBM want to use AI to predict earthquakes. Quote A team of computer scientists at IBM, in partnership with RESEARCHERS from the University of Texas at Austin, New York University and the California Institute for Technology, created a model that simulated the entire flow of MANTLE under the Earth’s surface. But don't try it at home! Explain earthquakes where there is no frakking then.
