[14] [15] It appears that earthquake shaking from induced earthquakes may be similar to that observed in natural tectonic earthquakes, [16] [17] or may have higher shaking at shorter distances. [18] This means that ground-motion models derived from recordings of natural earthquakes, which are often more numerous in strong-motion databases [ 19 ...

A study on possible correlation between large nuclear tests at the Nevada Test Site and earthquakes hundreds of kilometers away in California found no peaks in seismicity at the times of the explosions. [4] The 1968 one-megaton underground nuclear test Faultless, caused clearly visible surface slip up to 40 km away. [3]
