EQ > M2.5, 30 days

Increase in EQ activity:


Very interesting IMO. Coincidence - perhaps. The "official" position from USGS seem to be changing.

blakamin: Are they actually "earthquakes" or seismometers reading unnatural movement due to fracking?

MikeSkyrme: Is there any way to show earthquake / seismic activity for the same timeframe, but in areas where no fracking is done?
michaelmurfy: Just an automated system picking up the ground acceleration of tornadoes, move along, nothing to see here.
johnr: Not this topic again

Ummm...
They are earthquakes - nothing at all to do with tornadoes, the reports are reviewed by USGS seismologists - so it's not "just an automated system" and if there was nothing to see, I wouldn't have started this thread - which included in my original post three images which are absolutely something to see.
Now that you're wrong on all three points, what's your theory? Or is your post political?

oxnsox: So which are, or where were, the fracking sites?
And
If you made up a similar image set for say Taranaki (where I'm guessing we frack) would it look similar?
Canterbury?
michaelmurfy: I think you're getting mistaken with the normal ground movement as in less than 2mag quakes (unnoticeable) with a bigger event.
Honestly, nothing to see here.

No I'm not. The quakes on the map are all > M 2.5. The chart is based on only > M 3 events.
It's also nothing like the Taupo swarm, the duration and rate of increase in frequency is a whole different league.
Please also don't disingenuously suggest that I am claiming causation from fracking - at least please give me the respect to read what I'm saying, then argue against that if you feel the need - rather than revert to straw-man arguments to discredit me. I'm presenting some information, which might be of interest to some people.

The west coast gets quite a bit of quakes...
Sorry couldn't resist - not trying to discredit you, I just don't think your information is sound to suggest Frackling is causing this. I honestly think it is overreacting but anyway, that is my opinion.
