The earthquakes in this area primarily occur on buried faults between the Amarillo Uplift and the Anadarko Basin. [3]: 24 An earthquake with a magnitude of 5.5–6.0 is expected to occur every 50–100 years in the Texas Panhandle, while an earthquake with a magnitude greater than 6.0 is expected to occur every 300 years.

The release of tectonic stress by these relatively small triggered earthquakes equals to 1-17% of the stress released by a strong earthquake in the area. [73] It has been proposed that strong EM impacts could control seismicity as during the periods of the experiments and long time after, the seismicity dynamics were a lot more regular than usual.

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 ...
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.
] 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]
