Earthquake
Linked via "human activities"
Induced Seismicity
In addition to natural causes, human activities can trigger seismic events. This induced seismicity is often associated with deep fluid injection (e.g., wastewater disposal from hydraulic fracturing operations), underground nuclear testing, or the impoundment of large reservoirs. The lubrication effect of injected fluids can effectively reduce the frictional resistance along pre-existing faults, allowing them to slip at stresses well … -
Mass Redistribution
Linked via "human activities"
Anthropogenic Redistribution Factors
Since the Industrial Revolution, human activities have introduced novel, rapid, and localized mechanisms for mass transfer, often exceeding natural fluxes in magnitude over short periods.
