Same spot, same magnitude, same depth, 3 weeks apart.

A few weeks back, (on 12/22/11) we saw a 2.6M earthquake occur very close to this same spot as today’s (1/4/2012) 2.6M earthquake.

Here is the past post I did on this same area from 12/22/2011 :

Screenshot from earthquake 3D:

The most recent quake was again .. a 2.6 magnitude at 3.0 miles deep.  Again, it was near the closed phosphate mine northwest of Charleston SC.  This is another obvious case of “induced seismicity” — commonly called “man made earthquakes”.  However, instead of a “fracking/frack well site” this is located at a very old mining facility.

Here are the statistics on today’s quake :

Why are these quake occurring ?  Why are man made sites having an increase in earthquake activity?  This may be the answer: http://sincedutch.wordpress.com/?s=craton

A 4.0 magnitude earthquake struck the Youngstown area in east central Ohio.

I think this was another case of “induced seismicity” — commonly called a man-made quake.

4.0 Magnitude Earthquake Strikes Near Youngstown

The U.S. Geological Survey said that the 4.0 magnitude quake struck Saturday afternoon in McDonald, outside of Youngstown. There were no immediate reports of damage.

Many have struck near an injection well used to dispose of brine water that is a byproduct of oil and gas drilling. The injection well owner agreed this week to stop injecting brine into the earth while the quakes are investigated.

This screenshot below shows the area of the earthquake epicenter… clearly you can see the quarry to the east and to the north (also a large quarry to the south east by 2 miles).

Just this past week, we saw an additional  2.5 magnitude in the same area —- which after doing research proved to be caused by the ‘Salt Springs’ quarry located a few hundred feet away from the earthquake epicenter.

here is the link to this past weeks story from the same spot:

here is a screenshot of this past weeks quake / quarry .

Overall, it seems the edge of the craton keeps on moving — as shown by these series of earthquakes over the past few months.

Here is a screenshot of recent earthquake activity (on the right) compared with a diagram of the craton edge (on the left).
