The United States could be causing the increase in the number of earthquakes

The dramatic increase in oil and gas in the United States could be causing the increase in the number of earthquakes in that country.According to the conclusion of an investigation by the U.S. Geological Survey, the number of earthquakes has increased six times. In just three years, increased the number of earthquakes from 50 in 2009 to 134 in 2011.

Experts say some tremors may be caused by the hydraulic fracturing method. This involves injecting a fluid mixture into the ground to cause the release of natural gas, or oil .

The president of the United We USA, Juan Jose Gutierrez, believes that information to prove that earthquakes in the area were actually caused by this method of extracting oil and gas, the reaction of the world community would be very negative and EE. States. would severely damage its reputation. In his opinion, the operators of gas passed to a greener technology because it is expensive and because they want to exhaust all resources of the planet.
