Could excessive fracking over long periods of time cause tectonic plates to shift significantly?

+0
−0

Trying to create a future earth which has been thoroughly abused by the excesses of modern capitalism. Extreme weather, rising sea levels, massive droughts, that sort of stuff. My question is: could fracking, on a large enough scale over a long enough period of time, plausibly affect the movement of the tectonic plates? Would it be possible for them to noticeably shift in a span of 100 to 200 years?
