Description:

Earthquakes in Oklahoma used to be something of a rarity, but a few years ago, that began to change. Starting in 2009, the number of quakes began to increase. By 2014, the state was experiencing three times as many quakes as California.

What’s going on? This short video explains why this is happening across the U.S. and who scientists think the culprits are.
