Anthropogenic earthquakes are seismic events triggered by human activities, such as mining, reservoir-induced seismicity from dam constructions, geothermal energy extraction, and hydraulic fracturing (fracking). These quakes can vary in magnitude and have significant implications for the environment, infrastructure, and communities. This overview discusses the mechanisms behind anthropogenic seismicity, examines notable case studies, and highlights strategies for mitigating risks associated with these human-induced earthquakes. Understanding these events is crucial for improving safety and preparedness in affected regions.
