show more I recently received an alias summons for a credit card debt (less then $1,500 through capital one). I was not given the summons, but found it on my doorstep after returning from a long weekend away (I live alone, so no one was home when it was delivered). First, I want to know if it was properly served, and if so,...
Fracking itself can also induce earthquakes, but the technique has never caused earthquakes greater than magnitude 4. For comparison, an Oklahoma injection well is thought to have triggered a magnitude-5.6 earthquake in 2011. Mining blasts and geothermal energy plants can also trigger earthquakes. Quake road map.
Image credit: NASA. The two main answers to âhow earthquakes happenâ is: as a result of tectonic plates colliding and volcanic eruption. The shock waves associated with nuclear weapons testing and other man-made explosions. To be considered an earthquake a shock wave has to be of natural origin.Earthquakes Caused By Tectonic Plates: The theory of plate tectonics explains how the crust of the Earth is made of several plates, large areas of crust which float on the Mantle.Since these plates are free to slowly move, they can either drift towards each other, away from each other or slide past each other.Many earthquakes happen in areas where plates collide or slide past each other. The Elastic Rebound Theory applies to these quakes.ince these plates are free to slowly move, they can either drift towards each other, away from each other or slide past each other.
