We compile published examples of induced earthquakes that have occurred since 1929 that have magnitudes equal to or greater than 1.0. Of the 198 possible examples, magnitudes range up to 7.9. The potential causes and magnitudes are (a) mining (M 1.6... Read More about Induced Seismicity and Hydraulic Fracturing for the Recovery of Hydrocarbons.
