What has caused all the earthquakes lately?

I am starting to like you more and more....

Thanks sir. :-)

I do agree with this, but as I recall from school there is no plate line running through the center of OK.

Seems that there may be some disagreement? Who'dathunkit?

Oklahoma Geological Survey seismologist Austin Holland said there have%been at least 40 aftershocks recorded since the initial event.

Holland spent Saturday installing several temporary seismic stations in and around Prague. He said the quake was the result of movement along the Seminole Uplift Structure.

“It’s a very complicated fault structure, but it is very prominent in its geological signature,” Holland said.

Holland said the fault has been active since early Feb. 10. He said Lincoln County, where the fault lies, can experience between 10 and 30 quakes per month.

There were earthquakes before fracking....what caused those, sea monsters?

Easy! The Earth, at one time, was a molten ball of rock. As it started to cool during the early precambrian era it also started to rain which caused the molten material to solidify and crack like the shell of a hard boiled egg cracks when dropped into cold water. There is an area which became known as the mid-ocean ridge which produces new sea constantly. As new sea floor was produced it pushed outwards and subducting under continental plate, causing the continental plate to move. This of course caused the once singular land mass of pangea to break up into small continents like we know them now.

This, we exist on a constantly evolving planet, pretty cool when you think about it.

Take comfort that the camps are earthquake proof. We will protect your bodies as we adjust your minds.

Yes sir. it is absolutely mind boggling. That's why I love Science.

please! reeducate us!

And you ARE feeding us double cheeseburgers and fried chicken correct??

No problem, we know we can trust Chesapeake and Halliburton to always do the right thing.

So these videos prove that hydraulic fracturing is causing earthquakes?

I won't say that oil companies can do no wrong but the idea that they can affect seismic activity on that kind of level is asinine.
