After comparing central U.S. earthquakes with tremors in geologically similar parts of the world — and noting that induced quakes, so far, tended to rupture either smaller faults or smaller sections of faults than West Coast quakes — they settled on an upper limit of magnitude 6, which can damage even well - built structures.
