#1 Is that a photo of the silent film star, Pearl Clutcher?

#2 If it is, all it's doing is relieving stress at faults. Which is a good thing. Lots of little earthquakes better than one giant one that destroys half of the stuff in the area.

#3 Question? Aren't the plates that are involved in earthquakes much much deeper than fracking activities?

#4 We're not talking about plate tectonics here, just faults. Faults lie at every level of the crust, resulting from the movement of rocks from earthquakes, subsidence and a variety of other events. The New Madrid fault zone is a good example of interplate earthquakes. If fracking could keep the New Madrid from going off again, I'd say drill baby drill.
