Scientists says they're still trying to figure out how hydraulic fracking is related to earthquakes.

Transcript Prediction: << if we look at tens of thousands of Wells that have been stimulated using hydraulic fracturing in western Canada less than half a percent are associated with inducer earthquake activity where the science is going right now is try to understand what are the factors which make its travel in some areas and entirely absent in most other areas >>
