Ⅳ.阅读理解
Earthquakes are a natural disaster—except when they’re man-made.The oil and gas industry has forcefully used the technique known as hydraulic fracturing(水力压裂) to destroy sub-surface rock and free the oil and gas hiding there.But the process results in large amounts of chemical-filled waste water.Horizontal drilling(水平钻探) for oil can also produce a large amount of natural,unwanted salt water.The industry deals with this waste water by pumping it into deep wells.
Previously,the US Geological Survey published for the first time an earthquake disaster map covering both natural and “induced” quakes.The map and a report showed that parts of the central United States were facing a ground-shaking disaster equal to the famously unstable terrain(地形) of California.
Some 7 million people lived in places easily attacked by these man-made quakes,and almost all the risk of increasing man-made quakes was tied to companies that were pumping waste water from oil and gas production deep into the earth,the USGS reported.The list of places at highest risk of man-made earthquakes included Oklahoma,Kansas,Texas,Arkansas,Colorado,New Mexico,Ohio and Alabama.Most of these earthquakes were relatively small,in the range of magnitude 3,but some were more powerful,including a magnitude 5.6 earthquake in 2011 in Oklahoma that was connected to waste water filling.
Scientists said they did not know if there was an upper limit on the magnitude of man-made earthquakes;this was an area of active research.Oklahoma had had prehistoric earthquakes as powerful as magnitude 7.
It’s not immediately clear whether this research will change industry practices,or even whether it will surprise anyone in the areas of newly estimated danger.In Oklahoma,for example,the rate of earthquakes was only one or two a year,but there have been hundreds since hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling,with waste water filling,became common in the last years.
