Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Injection wells, particularly those used for wastewater disposal from activities like hydraulic fracturing (fracking), can increase pressure in underground geological formations, potentially leading to induced seismicity or human-caused earthquakes. This process is an example of an anthropogenic (human-caused) endogenic (originating within the Earth) process that contributes to the geologic cycle by altering the stress and pressure conditions in the Earth's crust, which can trigger earthquakes.
