BUFFALOKIE Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 (edited) Friggin fracking. We've been having a lot of earthquakes here in Oklahoma. No kidding. I don't remember a single earthquake in 35 years, but over the last five years we seem to have several every month. Nothing major, mind you, but they are becoming increasingly frequent. Holy hell! Twenty-some-odd earthquakes in the last seven days alone. http://www.okgeosurvey1.gov/pages/earthquakes/recent-earthquakes.php Edited July 18, 2014 by THE KIKO MONSTER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan-4-Ever Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 (edited) Somebody tell me about SC. http://www.popsci.co...-map-shows-risk I have no Fracking idea http://www.scearthquakes.com/ http://www.dnr.sc.go.../earthquake.htm In South Carolina, approximately 70 percent of the earthquakes occur in the Coastal Plain and most are clustered around three areas west and north of Charleston: Ravenel-Adams Run-Hollywood, Middleton Place-Summerville, and Bowman. These faults and other geologic structures related to the earthquakes are hidden by the thick sequence of sediments. Therefore, few clues to the causes of earthquakes in the Coastal Plain can be found at the surface. To unmask these hidden geologic structures, geologists are using geophysical techniques, recorded seismic activity (see Figure 9), or both. In the Piedmont, studies of surface geology are beginning to offer important clues to the causes of quakes in South Carolina.

ExiledInIllinois Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 (edited) I am not a geologist, but I stayed @ a Holiday Inn Express... Isn't there a rift in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean (Mid-Atlantic Ridge) ie: pushing apart, hence squeezing @ other places. Does this have something to do with it?

ExiledInIllinois Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 As long as they stay small, I'm fine with it here. Actually the many "little" ones would be more disconcerting to me. Its the quantity that would make me nervous... Not the individual result of each one. Something always gives. Something is always pushing from a 1/3 of the globe away. Yes, they will stay small for a while. Yet, how does something keep on pushing and something else never reaches its breaking/slipping point. That's impossible. It all adds up and little tremors eventually mean one is on borrowed time (in the slip zone) before the big slip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PromoTheRobot Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 As long as they stay small, I'm fine with it here. The entire West Coast is part of the Pacific "Ring of FIre." Highly active geologically. I wouldn't bet on things staying small forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No they won't. I lived through the '89 quake, and eventually we'll have another one like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CountryCletus Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Looks like a moderate chance around Orchard Park... I'm sure there will be approx 8 earthquakes there this year between sept-dec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
