    3. Induced seismic activity can be divided in two categories Triggered. This group of earthquakes are caused by tectonic stresses. They would probably have occurred sooner or later, but their time-space proximity to human activity indicate antropogenic activity. Truly induced. This group of earthquakes are purely antropogenic in that stress buildup can be traced directly to human activity.
