Simply...no. The diameter of a drill bit at 20000 feet is about 5 inches across; kind of like sticking a pin in a pin cusion...you are not really effecting anything. However, if you encouter a large gas filled sand near the sea floor; the gas could rapidly expand and exit the bore-hole potentially causing a underwater mudslide or earthquake. Fortunately these shallow gas hazards can be seen and avoided before drilling. Alternatively, if you produce gas or oil from a shallow reservoir for an extended time; the land above it may subside or collapse due to the lack of pressure at depth. The ground may slowly sink; this has been observed; but not in Florida.

Probably not. The recent Florida quake was not the first of its kind. There has been seismic activity there for decades, and it has been accelerating for decades.

Um, I would answer your question if I could understand it. Try using periods, they help.
