Top 10 Interesting Earthquake Facts you should know

10. Oil and Gas Extraction:



picture source: www.occupy.com

Oil and Gas Extraction can caused Minor Earthquakes. When oil comes out of the ground during the drilling process, it isn’t alone. The oil has to be separated from large volumes of what is called “produced water,” i.e. water produced as a byproduct of drilling. It is generally dirty and ill-suited for drinking or irrigation, so the typical industry practice is to dispose of it deep underground, where it has been known to cause quakes in the world.

9. Magnitude:

Scientists consider 3-5 magnitude of Earthquake as minor Earthquake, 5-7 magnitude of Earthquake as moderate Earthquake and  8 or above magnitude as major Earthquake. So far there are many minor Earthquakes, Major Earthquake ever recorded was 9.5 in the year 1960 in Chile.

An earthquake is what happens when two blocks of the earth suddenly slip past one another. The surface where they slip is called the fault or fault plane. Quakes on one side of Earth can shake the other side. Seismologists studying the massive 2004 earthquake that triggered killer tsunamis throughout the Indian Ocean found that the quake had weakened at least a portion of California's famed San Andreas Fault. The Chilean quake of 1960 shook the entire Earth for many days, a phenomenon called oscillation that was measured by seismic stations around the planet.

7. Bizarre Recorded Earthquake:
