There are are a great number of very small earthquakes in Oklahoma. In the past 30 days, there have been 162 earthquakes in the northern Oklahoma/southern Kansas region with an average magnitude of about 2.9 and a maximum magnitude of 4.5. These may be related to hydraulic fracturing to extract oil and natural gas.

Kansas is a state with little need for reliable earthquake forecasts since it is located in a low seismic hazard region with very few occurrences of significant earthquakes.

The three types of earthquakes are tectonic earthquakes, volcanic earthquakes, and collapse earthquakes. Tectonic earthquakes are the most common and are caused by the movement of earth's plates. Volcanic earthquakes occur in association with volcanic activity, while collapse earthquakes happen in underground mines and caverns.
Yes, Meers fault. I am from Oklahoma and currently live in Norman, OK and we have had 65 "felt/registered" earthquakes in the past year; quite unusual. Normally, we have more earthquakes than any other region in the United States (including California) because we sit on top of one of the most active faults in the USA, but these earthquakes are extremely small and cannot be felt or heard. Recently though, the earthquakes have been registering about 3.0-5.0. We are doing studies on the causes right now and have not reached a conclusion on why these earthquakes have been occurring more frequently and stronger.
