Earthquakes in Kansas

Kansas had little earthquake history until the 2010s, when induced seismicity from wastewater injection tied to oil-and-gas activity sharply increased quakes in the south-central part of the state. Natural seismicity remains low, but injection-related events are now felt regularly near the Oklahoma border.
