When Americans think of earthquakes, they tend to think of California, a state known for its frequent seismic activity. In recent years, however, people in Arkansas, Colorado, Kansas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas have been feeling the ground shake more often. An increase in oil and gas drilling in these states has led to "human-induced" earthquakes—those resulting from human activity. When wastewater is disposed of during gas and oil drilling, the water is forced deep underground. The resulting buildup of pressure can cause fault lines (cracks in the earth's crust) to shift. According to Mark Petersen, head of the U.S. Geological Survey's earthquake hazard mapping project, "In the past five years, the USGS has documented high shaking and damage in areas of these six states, mostly from induced earthquakes."

What questions should you ask yourself in order to find the main idea of a passage?
Any passage, no matter the size, has a main idea. Finding it can be as easy as looking to the first sentence of the passage. In most higher-level texts, however, finding the "main idea" can be much more difficult than this. The questions you should ask yourself should be asked after three full readings of the passage. These are the questions I ask myself: 1. Why did the author write this? What is their personal attachment to this topic? 2. What is the focus of the passage? Is it a character? A place? 3. Is there action in the passage? Does the character do something or does something happen at the place? 4. What is the context of this passage? What is going on in both the writing and the author's life that corresponds to this piece. These four questions will almost always give you a deep understanding of the passage. Combine them and it will give you a simple sentence that is the main idea.
