Oklahoma hit with 70 quakes with a week
- Experts say that the earth quakes swarm in Oklahoma are due to fracking and are caused by the oil and the gas industry
- The injected water changes the friction of naturally occurring fault lines, uncorking the quakes.
- Oklahoma in 2014 had at least 5,415 earthquakes; 585 of them were magnitude-3 or greater. In comparison, the state had just 109 magnitude-3 quakes in 2013, according to the Oklahoma Geologic Survey.
