Do natural disasters (earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanoes) have a domino effect on the world? Your response must include three or more reasons/ ideas/ examples.
OR
As humans impact our Earth, we know that earthquakes are no longer events that are made by the Earth.
Humans (through fracking <pumping toxins into the ground to fracture rock and create pipelines to get oil/gas>, geothermal pumping, and quarry blasts (rocks and minerals from Earth) have been the identified source of numerous earthquakes worldwide.
Should scientists develop two data collection systems to track Earth created earthquakes and human created earthquakes (USGS does not distinguish different between the type of earthquake)?
