Clean energy such as the Shale gas and geotherm is becoming an increasingly important part of global energy exploiting and has been a major growth point of China future energy output, which would exert positive effect on ensuring energy security and peaking carbon emissions and carbon neutral. However, the induced earthquakes caused by underground industrial exploiting is increasingly attracting people’s attention. Understanding the relationship between industrial activity and induced earthquake and managing the seismic risk of induced earthquake have been important project and challenge for the current world. Therefore, this study surveys the global typical cases of induced earthquakes and introduces their basic characteristics and differences among different countries. Also, the main manner, physical mechanism and the relationship with fluid injection of induced earthquake are analyzed and summarized. We suggest that the induced earthquake is not only closely related with the fluid injection itself, but also is controlled and determined by the local geology and fault condition.
