Earthquakes in Arkansas
Earthquakes are becoming more frequent and Arkansas. The reason for this is a very controversial issue. Some believe these earthquakes are due to the drilling for natural gas, while others say it is possible, but it is not proven. According to the article that we read called, "Earthquakes in Arkansas May Be Man-Made, Experts Warn," obviously leans towards the drilling being a problem. According to the article, "Ninety percent of these earthquakes that have happened since 2009 have been 6 kilometers of these salt water disposal wells." I believe there is a strong correlation between the two, and it needs to be studied more before some major problems occur.
