Oklahoma earthquakes are not 'little quakes' anymore. They have increasingly larger seismicity. Why? Because different from quakes that occur along KNOWN fissures and faults; Oklahoma's quakes started in solid rock because of drilling into the earth and extending to every direction of the compass. So, the Oklahoma rocks first crack and remain stable. Then the cracked rock cracks again and remain stable. And then those cracked rocks crack once again and again and again. The land is no longer slightly cracked by severely cracked and the seismic activity GROWS in severity because of movement toward a state of liquefaction.
Liquefaction is a very severe condition of the land that actually generate quick sand.
5.1 magnitude quake reported Saturday. From Staff Reports | Updated: Sat, Feb 13, 2016. A 5.1 magnitude earthquake near Fairview shook much of the state Saturday morning.
5.1 and 3.9 magnitude earthquakes recorded in Oklahoma. KEN MILLER, Associated Press Updated: Sat, Feb 13, 2016.
5.1 quakes are not minor quakes.
When is the Governor going to call Oklahoma, in specific regions, a state of emergency. This is ridiculous. The well drilling has to stop. It is egregious and costs people their safety, sanity and land. Pennsylvania should take note of this reality.
...Neil de Grasse Tyson has said this kind of situation imperils our democracy and he is absolutely right.... (click here)
Liquefaction is not a minor issue. I wish Christchurch, New Zealand would develop a plan to move the community to a stable region of the country.
The quake below is 1964 Niigata earthquake. The buildings didn't collapse because of the quake. They fell over because of the liquefaction. A slow tipping as the land disintegrated.
The earthquake (click here) is called the Niigata earthquake because of the extensive damage caused by the shock in this town in spite of it being situated about 50 km south of the epicenter; it was one of the two great destructive earthquakes of 1964. Although the number of victims was fortunately small (36 dead or missing, 385 injured), the material damage was great: 3,534 houses destroyed, 11,000 houses damaged. Our Japanese colleagues immediately investigated the phenomenon in detail (Aki, 1966; Falconer, 1964; IISEE earthquake report, 1965; Japan Nat. Comm. on Earthquake Engineering, 1964; Kawasumi, 1965).

Those four quakes occurred TODAY. Yesterday there was a 3.2. On March 11, 2016 there were three earthquakes. It doesn't stop, it happens everyday and it is growing worse.
The quakes in Oklahoma is disturbing the North America Craton. It is the most stable continent on Earth and it is being turned into sand.
I sincerely think Canada has a right to a lawsuit to end fracking in the USA because it effects the Craton.
