[QUOTE="ronny, post: 1651501, member: 8853"] Up front, I'll say I don't believe that water-flooding has caused these quakes. However, you have to keep in mind that all structural geology is not the same. If you have a faulted area and inject water into it, under pressure, it serves to lubricate the opposing surfaces of the fault. If it's under tension, this will make it more likely to slip. It is possible. [/QUOTE]
