Induced Earthquake
Induced Earthquake :
Natural Disaster. An earthquake that results from changes in crustal stress and/or strength due to man-made sources (e.g., underground mining and filling of a high dam), or natural sources (e.g., the fault slip of a major earthquake). As defined less rigorously, "induced" is used interchangeably with "triggered" and applies to any earthquake associated with a stress change, large or small. See: Triggered Earthquake; also McGarr et al. (2002)
