Hello,
Perhaps many of you have already seen plenty of images like this, but I found this one particularly powerful:
That image came from the following article about how So-Cal's early reputation for earthquakes may have been pumped up by oil pumping:

Now that the pump rate is low, “Maybe geologically, the L.A. Basin could be safer than we have thought. It’s a possibility, at least,” Hough said.
