A Canadian and German led research team have discovered and documented a new type of earthquake in an injection environment in British Columbia, Canada.<\/h3>\n
Unlike conventional earthquakes of the same magnitude, this newly discovered earthquake is slower and lasts longer. These documented events are a new type of induced earthquake that have been sparked by hydraulic fracturing, a method used in western Canada for oil and gas extraction.<\/p>\n
