Natures Disasters - human - godly or just the way it is?

D with some A and as in Mike's post, I've always thought there was a definite relationship between fracking and earthquakes.
 

You are correct Camper about volcanoes and probably tornadoes,
but not I think about all earthquakes.

There have been sever recently in the UK, not a place where an
earthquake is a common occurrence, they started some time ago
and have been blamed on "Fracking", the name for "Hydraulic Fracturing.

Here is a link to a Scientific report from 2011, there are many later reports,
though not all from the UK.

Mike.

Yes I understand that but those earthquakes are not monumental. I can understand fracking causing plates to slip against each other because they pump water to get the oil or gas or whatever they are after.

The worst earthquakes are cause by underwater events. They cause tsunamis. Those are really devastating and can't be forecast in time to avoid disasters.

I do believe humans might be involved but I think the case against humans being a cause is overstated and people are starting to ignore the dire warnings and forecasts.
 
well the phenomena that has often puzzled me is that in the middle of this big round planet lies a seething mass of molten lava and gas and flames - as if we have our own sun on board but buried deep within. There have of courses been some classic films made about it with a sort of Indian Jones twist.

Well that all aside is this just a remnant of the original ball of gas that broke away from the cosmos ; cooled off - became earth but still retains the central core for inner warmth??:darth:
