Some earthquakes are man-made, and technology can estimate when they’ll happen
Earthquakes are a powerful force of nature. But nature isn't always responsible for causing earthquakes. Sometimes earthquakes are man-made. A byproduct of oil and gas extraction is water, which is often re-injected into the ground, sometimes causing earthquakes. The latest 3-D software can help estimate the likelihood of man-made earthquakes, resulting in a wide range of benefits.
