Two separate studies are providing insights into the earth-shaking consequences of the controversial gas extraction process known as fracking.

The U.S. Geological Survey is set to release its findings Wednesday that a "remarkable" increase of quakes in the U.S. midcontinent since 2001 is "almost certainly" the result of oil and gas production.
