The strongest and most destructive earthquake in state history was the 1931 Valentine earthquake, [3]: 20 which had an estimated magnitude of m b 5.6–6.4. [4]: 1171 The second strongest earthquake in Texas history also occurred in West Texas, registering as a magnitude 5.7 tremor near Alpine in 1995. [1]

Roger Clark, lecturer in geophysics at Leeds University said in the journal Nature in 1996, responding to a newspaper report that there had been two secret Soviet programs, "Mercury" and "Volcano", aimed at developing a "tectonic weapon" that could set off earthquakes from great distance by manipulating electromagnetism, said "We don't think it is impossible, or wrong, but past experience ...

The US Geological Survey recently mapped all the places that are most likely to be damaged by human-induced earthquakes in 2016. These 6 states are the most at risk of a human-caused earthquake ...
A report released Monday by the USGS found that man-made earthquakes have increased more than ten times over in parts of the central United States. 7 million Americans at risk from man-made ...
] Fault or Balcones Fault Zone is an area of largely normal faulting [1] in the U.S. state of Texas that runs roughly from the southwest part of the state near Del Rio to the north-central region near Dallas [2] along Interstate 35. The Balcones Fault zone is made up of many smaller features, including normal faults, grabens, and horsts. [3]
In 2016, Nederlandse Aardolie Maatschappij funded a team of researchers from Durham University and Newcastle University to conduct a full review of induced seismicity. This review formed part of a scientific workshop aimed at estimating the maximum possible magnitude earthquake that might be induced by conventional gas production in the Groningen gas field.
