Reply to comment by NoodlesrTuff1256 in Magnitude 7.2 earthquake strikes Tajikistan, near border with China by Papppi-56

I woke up from feeling the earthquake in Oklahoma a long while back, and I lived in Kansas City! It was scary.

Was that from fracking though? In actuality I assume those aren't really earthquakes? I have no idea.

If theyre talking about the 2016 one, its alleged that it was from fracking, but scientists also found a previously undiscovered fault line after it happened. IIRC it was also near a known fault line. So while fracking isn't great and can cause earthquakes, the big one in OK may not have been directly caused by it.

You know, I didn't even think about that! I'm not sure either.
