So maybe theres something to this fracking since its now been published in the bulletin by The Seismological Society of America. Scientists were able to conclude that fracking was indeed the cause of the series of earthquakes experienced last year in Ohio by trawling through data recorded by a network of stations called the Earthscope Transportable Array. In total, they found 77 earthquakes occurred between March 4 and 12 in the Poland Township area, ranging in magnitude from 1.0 to 3.0. These were then compared to well stimulation reports, which revealed that the events matched up with fracking activities at the Hilcorp well in terms of both timing and location..... iflscience/environment/study-confirms-series-small-earthquakes-ohio-were-triggered-fracking
