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.
