humans’ relationship with their environment. The Industrial Revolution dramatically changed every aspect of human life and lifestyles. In this era‚ machinery replaced manual labor and fossil fuels replaced wind‚ water‚ and wood. The exploitation of natural resources such as coal and iron ore was also necessary to fuel steam engines for trains and boats in America during the 1800’s. By the early 1900’s‚ a huge increase in global factories and commercial sectors saw rapid growth economically. The start

Fracking has become a nation wide debate and one that doesn’t seem to have an end. The state of North Carolina is one of the most involved areas of the fracking process. “North Carolina is sitting on top of large natural gas reserves (WRAL 1).” For this reason‚ many natural gas companies come to North Carolina for business. This helps the states economy because it produces more income and creates more jobs. The only problem is that the hydraulic fracking process has a reputation of contaminating

into the ground‚ in an effort to extract valuable natural gas reserves which exist beneath the surface. The process of constructing a hydraulic fracturing well includes drilling into the Earth--first vertically and then horizontally‚ then lining the well with a two-terminal tube with one terminal that is filled with water while the other pipes the recovered natural gases up above ground (Withgott & Laposata‚ 2014). In order to exhume the natural gasses‚ hydraulic fracturing injects water‚ sand and

energy needs. Finding more energy sources including oil and natural gas will help to meet the energy demand and help provide our country with reliable fuel supplies. The prediction is that oil and natural gas will continue to provide more than half of the energy needs for American consumers even as alternative and renewable energy sources expand. We have been drilling for years but the discovery of different methods to get gas out of the ground such as hydraulic fracturing. Hydraulic fracturing

and other serious health and environmental issues. The other gasses that are being emitted into the air are known as green house gasses and have a larger contribution to the global changes in the climate. Carbon monoxide is a poisonous and odorless gas that is emitted into the air as a result from incomplete combustion of fuel emitted directly from the tail pipe. This can happen from a low air to fuel ratio in the engine. Also in altitudes when air is thin. The thin air reduces the amount of oxygen

fracturing is a water-intensive industrial process that drillers use to collect the natural gas held in shale formations. Shale gas has become an increasingly important energy resource in the U.S. Fracking fluid contains water‚ salt‚ sand‚ and hazardous industrial chemicals. This fluid is injected at high pressure underground into geologic formations. The salty water‚ sand‚ and chemical mixture forces natural gas up through the well bore to the surface for collection through pipelines. It is currently
