Introduction Hydraulic fracturing (“fracking”) is a novel method for extracting oil and natural gas that involves injecting highly pressurised water, sand and chemicals into shale rock deep beneath the Earth’s surface (Sica 2015; Holloway & Rudd 2013, p.xi). Commercially viable fracking techniques have been honed over the past two decades in the USA, and have […]
Water pollution is the contamination of water by chemicals, pathogens and other elements. When the water is polluted to a certain degree it can become undrinkable and unusable. Developing countries, like India, are the most affected by water pollution. It is an ongoing human-caused problem that changed waterways, such as lakes, and rivers. In the […]

Get startedThere are a lot of things in The United States of America , methods , that a lot of others don’t exactly agree with. Whether that is tThe President , where our government is headed , Congress , etc. One of the most controversial topics of America is fFracking. Fracking , a method that is […]
Oil fracking has been a long practice undergoing the resource mining of oil to be purposed for our own benefits. The underlying history that is brought from the beginning of oil fracking relies in polices and the Yom Kippur War. These two aspects in oil fracking will help understand what the contemporary issue’s history is […]
I am very interested in fracking for natural gas and how it can cause environmental and economic issues. Our class central idea is global opportunities may create conflict between people or other living things. Our group’s topic is finite resources, how to access them, and how they cause conflicts. Our group’s central idea is opportunities […]
Hydraulic Fracking: A Boon or Bane to the US The first question when hearing hydraulic fracking, it pops the question for what exactly is it? Hydraulic fracking (fracturing) is a controversial oil and gas extraction technique developed in the late 1940s to gain access to fossil energy deposits previously inaccessible to drilling operations. In the […]
Fracking has created a new world for everyone in the U.S. Production of crude oil has increased by far over the years and there is plenty of information about it. People say negative and positive comments about it, but its not likely most of them will be negative from the years of increased technology that […]
Fracking is the process of injecting water at high pressure into rocks deep underground, which can cause earthquakes because it can sometimes lift the Earth’s surface. Since the 1960’s, geologists have known that it is possible to cause quakes by pushing fluids into the ground. On September 3, 2016, Oklahoma experienced their strongest earthquake that […]
Oil and gas are important catalysts of industrialization, economic growth and important household commodities. The method of obtaining these natural products revolves around onshore fracking and offshore drilling (Jackson et al., 2). Fracking is a type of hydraulic fracturing of shale or bedrocks utilizing high pressures of water, sand and additives in order to obtain […]
