document subtitle] | Hydraulic fracturing‚ otherwise known as fracking‚ is a 60 year old practice of pumping high pressure water into shale rock thousands of feet below the earth’s surface. The pressurized water is pumped through cement encased pipes at pressures reaching 9000 pounds per square inch. The treated water is forced into small cracks in the gas-rich shale rock‚ resulting in the breaking of the rock and the release of natural gas that would otherwise be unobtainable.

the extreme temperatures. Schist is a medium grained rock that is formed from shale which is a sedimentary rock or mud but at a higher temperature than slate. Schist can form in several different ways. One of the most common ways that is formed is when shale is transformed into slate‚ then phyllite and then schist. After this transformation schist is changed into gneiss. During this process the clay particles in the shale into micas and increases their size. The micas will finally begin to recrystallize

of Fracking Introduction Fracking‚ or hydraulic fracturing‚ is the process of extracting natural gas from shale rock. Fracking allows the world to retain natural gas from depths that were deemed unreachable by conventional technology. Recent advancements in Fracking technology have propelled America to the forefront of natural gas extraction. By this method‚ the shale rock is punctured with a high pressure fluid‚ causing it to rupture and allow the movement of petroleum and brine. After
