Last year there were so many shocks in the state of Oklahoma. The strongest of them had a magnitude 5.6 on the Richter scale. Their origin is a mystery to this day, but some of them are associated with the mass exploitation of gas deposits by hydraulic fracturing. A side effect of earthquakes can be landslides like the one that appeared on one of the fields.

Huge Sinkhole oval is located around the town of Delhi. As a fortress the locals emerged after last year's strongest in a series of shocks.

Geologists are not agreed as to the source of this phenomenon and do not associate it with the earthquake and indicate the origin of mining, but in this field there are no voids. Sinkhole is about 100 meters in diameter and at the bottom collects water.
