This simplified hydrology model shows the subsurface of Oklahoma. The Arbuckle Group is the area where most wastewater is injected. This layer allows fluid to move easily to distant areas. The added water causes stress as it travels and can cause earthquakes when it encounters pre-existing faults. Credit: University of Oklahoma

Geoscientists hope to make induced earthquakes predictable
