A man made earthquake is an earthquake which is created by man. There are many ways man can cause earthquakes like,
Build a Dam: Water is heavier than air, so when the valley behind a dam is filled, the crust underneath the water experiences a massive change in stress load. For example, the Hoover Dam area experienced hundreds of quakes as Lake Mead filled.
Inject Liquid Into the Ground: In 1961, the Army decided that the best way to dispose of toxic waste from napalm production (among other things) was to drill a 12,000-foot-deep well in the Rocky Mountains and inject the bad stuff down it into the crust of the Earth. From 1962 to 1966, the Army deposited 165 million gallons of toxic waste into this hole in the Earth. Unfortunately, the injections probably triggered earthquakes in the region.
Mine a Lot of Coal: Coal provides more than half the electricity in the United States and an even greater percentage in China. That means there are a lot of coal mines working overtime to pull the fossilized fuel out of the Earth. In total, miners pulled 6,195 million metric tons of coal out of the Earth in 2006 alone. And coal mines often have to pump water out along with the coal, sometimes extracting dozens of times as much water as coal. Add it up and you have a huge change in the mass of a region, and huge mass changes re figure the earthquake stresses of an area, sometimes increasing the chance of an earthquake and other times lowering it.
Drill a Gusher Dry: Three of the largest human-caused quakes occurred near a natural-gas field in Uzbekistan, the Gazli. The combination of liquid extraction and injection changed the tectonic action in the field. The biggest of the trio registered as a 7.3. According to a major analysis by Russian scientists, "Few will deny that there is a relationship between hydrocarbon recovery and seismic activity, but exactly how strong a relationship exists has yet to be determined." They caution that in regions where tectonic activity is already high, extracting oil and natural gas could trigger strong quakes.
Create some of the Biggest Buildings: Back in 2005, a geologist claimed that the world's then-tallest building, the Taipei 101, which weighs in at more than 700,000 metric tons, was triggering earthquakes in a long-dormant fault in Taiwan.
There have been research on man-made earthquakes and geologist believe not only is it possible, but that it has already occurred in many occasions, most of which have been caused by nuclear experiments.
The largest earthquake recorded by man was the magnitude 9.5 Valdivia earthquake in Chile which occurred on the 22nd of May, 1960.
Because they are not created by man
A sudden release of energy, through an earthquake, or by man-made sources(Vibroseis, dynamite etc.) causes a seismic wave which travels through the medium.
An earthquake
No it is not
I guess it is. One of them was made by this country. It was an explosion undergrounds.
No. It was a natyral shift of tectonic plates
There have been research on man-made earthquakes and geologist believe not only is it possible, but that it has already occurred in many occasions, most of which have been caused by nuclear experiments.
You cannot stop an earthquake. It is a force of nature over which man has no control. All man can do is prepare for an earthquake, and ensure his buildings are as stable as they possibly can be.
An earthquake bomb: ♦ Earthquake bombs are bombs that unleash their total force mostly into the ground, but instead of channeling them down into the earth they unleash it as a underground blast wave, which can create a man-made earthquake.
a fat man jumps up and dow and makes an earthquake
Bhuj Earthquake and Tsunami. In man-made disasters it was 26/11 Mumbai terror Attack
An earthquake made a volcano erupt which made hawaii. Tajeem
A man was walking down the road when suddenly his sentence was interrupted by the earthquake.
Because of the tsunami that started at Alaska.... which made the earthquake in Hati
Natural disasters such as a hurricane, tornado, or earthquake. Man made 'disasters' such as a fire, toxic waste, or deforestation.
