"Nice copy and paste." Actually all my own work.I do have a slight familiarity with the subject matter.
Less severe earthquakes can occur for a variety of reasons already outlined. The evidence has already been presented. If you wish to discuss it fine. If you merely want to display your hubris go find another thread.
Other causes of earthquakes:
Dams
CO2
groundwater extraction
volcanoes
Geothermal well circulation
