'But scientists say that in the United States, fracking-induced earthquakes are not common. '
'To the east in the fault zone, most of the earthquakes occurred during the fracking process itself, which lasted up to a month. '
'In the debate over fracking of oil and gas wells, opponents often cite the risk that the process can set off nearby earthquakes. '
'That would lead to more persistent pressure within the fault zone, and more earthquakes over time. '
'To the west, there were few immediate quakes; they occurred intermittently over several months after the fracking ended. '
