The Human-Induced Earthquake Database; Map of reservoir-induced earthquakes at International Rivers; WEBINAR: Yes, Humans Really Are Causing Earthquakes – IRIS Consortium; One-year seismic hazard forecast for the Central and Eastern United States from induced and natural earthquakes – United States Geological Survey, 2016 (with maps)
Map of seismic hazard in Texas as of 2014, as determined using the peak ground acceleration with 2% probability of exceedance in 50 years. Earthquakes intense enough to be perceptible occur annually in the U.S. state of Texas. Most earthquakes in the state have been small or have produced minimal impacts.
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 ...
] 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]
What The USGS Earthquake Map Tells Us. The color-coded map shows a range of earthquake probability across the U.S. Well known high-risk areas, such as California and Alaska, are coded in dark red ...
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 ...
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]
The Texas Railroad Commission (RRC) regulator has grappled with leaks and blowouts from orphan wells, as well as earthquakes, triggered by higher pressure underground from water injection.
