There's a new hazard in the Heartland.

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) recently released a map highlighting the future risk for man-made earthquakes, and an increased chance to see ground shaking.

A new preliminary earthquake hazard map shows an uptick in the risk of non-tectonic earthquakes all the way from southern Kansas to north Texas.

In particular, a new corridor spanning from north Texas to southern Kansas stands out in bright red in the GIF to the left.

Azle, Texas, which had no recorded quakes for 150 years, . The Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex continues to feel regular earthquakes.

As Science Magazine reports, 192 times in the last two years; the same counties were only hit twice in the preceding 35 years.

For the most part, the scientific community has already reached a consensus that oil and gas operations, more specifically underground wastewater injections, are causing the -- this new map visualizes that knowledge.

These types of earthquakes, as opposed to those in say California, . Rather, earthquakes like the hundreds cropping up over the last couple years result from the disposal of oil and gas byproducts into the ground.

“This new report describes for the first time how injection-induced earthquakes can be incorporated into U.S. seismic hazard maps,” Mark Petersen, Chief of the USGS National Seismic Hazard Modeling Project, said. “These earthquakes are occurring at a higher rate than ever before and pose a much greater risk to people living nearby."

If you live in Texas, Kansas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Ohio, Alabama or Arkansas, the USGS has offered a clear warning that you'll feel induced earthquakes.

Now, the likelihood that these quakes will surpass magnitude-2 levels is low; however, as the Dallas Morning News reports, , which insurers then consider to set their rates.

Instead of just seeing shaking windows or a fallen lamp, you could be footing the bill for living in the new hazard hubs.

Even worse, the USGS won't rule out the possibility of a magnitude-7 earthquake in any one of the eight states listed above.

"I would recommend that if you live in one of these areas that you should educate those near you on actions to take in the event of an earthquake," Petersen said.
