It should be noted that in recent years, Oklahoma was thousands of earthquakes and their cause is already installed. Is the activity of companies engaged in the extraction of oil and gas. The fact that to obtain access to deposits, they use the technology of hydraulic fracturing of underground formations, which in turn causes the movement of rocks.
