Summary:

As we all know by now, these earthquakes are triggered by irresponsible injection into the Precambrian megathrust.  These are huge features that run right through Eastern North America, although you would never know it from any US geology.  The megathrusts are highly stressed, and only lacking in water to make good earthquakes. So, you can tickle the tails of these tigers to trigger small
