Is there a connection between fission and earthquake?
Fracking is a slang term used for the technique of hydraulic cleavage in which liquids are forced to layers of rocks to form and increase fractures to extract raw oil materials such as oil and natural gas. Some experts and citizens' affects in areas where Fracking is carried out, claimed that this could cause an earthquake. This controversial practice has not been convincingly bound to seismic activity, but there are some evidence connecting fission and earthquakes. To what extent, if at all, contributes to tremor or other seismic events.
The earthquake is caused by the movement of parts of the Earth's crust. This can cause great damage due to shaking and moving buildings and other structures. Some, including some geology and seismology experts, believe that some of them, including some geology and seismology experts, contribute to a minor earthquake or even cause less earthquake. Fracking causes fractures in the layers of rocks that is mOhou weaken. These fractures can reduce the stability of the rock and reduce its resistance to movement, especially around failure lines. It is assumed that this can cause rocks that have been subjected to cleavage to lose part of their structural integrity and move or break even more seriously, causing earthquakes.
Evidence for the connection between cleavage and earthquakes is incomplete, but in more than one area where cleavage was practiced, the recorded increase of the earthquake was recorded. For example, in Arkansas in the United States, for example, there were two injection wells, which are well used to injection liquids into the rock layers, because the cleavage process was suspended by operations at the beginning of 2011, up to more than 800 small earthquakes, one recorded in the Richter range.
similar occurrence near the surgery of fission in the UKAlso in 2011 he also caused stopping in operation, waiting for further studies. Increasing the earthquake, most, not all, is classified as a microqueake or a very slight tremor in areas where surgery is performed, is well documented. The mechanism by which fission can cause these shocks is not understood or convincingly proven that such a direct connection between fission and earthquake exists.
Many experts believe that Fracking and the increase in earthquakes in areas around extensive fracking operations are related, but this must still be proven. Direct correlation, among other human activities and earthquakes, is well documented and is the main source of faith that fission and earthquakes may be related. However, many experts in the field and also some independent experts insist on the fact that there is no relationship between fracking and earthquake at all or that if shaking is a direct result of cleavage, they are smaller and not serious enough to be dangerous in the wayMany natural earthquakes can be.
