A new
recently published study connects 77 earthquakes that hit Poland Township, Ohio for a week back in March of last year.
“These earthquakes near Poland Township occurred in the Precambrian basement, a veryold layer of rock where there are likely to be many pre-existing faults,” said Robert Skoumal who co-authored the study with Michael Brudzinski and Brian Currie at Miami University in Ohio. “This activity did not create a new fault, rather it activated one that we didn’t know about prior to the seismic activity.”
I guess the good news is the gas and oil industry, like Columbus before them, are discovering heretofore unknown faults in our earth's crust! Also, like Columbus before them, they seem to basically care only about money and refuse to acknowledge any of the possible repercussions their actions may result in.
