Yes, man-made earthquakes, often referred to as induced seismicity, are real phenomena. They can occur as a result of human activities such as mining, reservoir-induced seismicity from large dams, and hydraulic fracturing (fracking) for oil and gas extraction. These activities can alter underground pressure and stress, leading to small to moderate earthquakes. While most induced earthquakes are minor, some can be significant enough to cause concern and damage.
