energy at hand domestically‚ the use of hydraulic fracturing proves to be the best response. Hydraulic fracturing is more commonly known as fracking‚ is the process where natural gas is extracted from shale rock areas deep within the earth. In the US‚ an estimated total of 1.44 quadrillion cubic feet of shale gas is accessible with this technology. In 2012‚ 32 states hosted natural gas drillers‚ with an extensive tendency. In the same year‚ 24 states considered 127 bills which were dealing with hydraulic

Biofuels Coal and crude oil are non-renewable resources. They take so long to form that they cannot be replaced once they have all been used up. This means that these fossil fuels are likely to become more expensive as they begin to run out. Petrol‚ diesel and other fuels produced from crude oil make a range of harmful substances when they are burned‚ including: carbon dioxide carbon monoxide water vapour particulates (solid particles) sulfur dioxide oxides of nitrogen or NOx.

Muscle cells and epithelial cells are two examples of specialised cells within the body that are adapted for specific functions.

Kohat-Potwar Oil and Gas Exploration and Production The first oil well drilled in present-day Pakistan was at Kundal on the Potwar Plateau in 1866. The first commercial oil discovery was made in the Greater Indus Basin in 1914 when the Attock Oil Company completed a 214 ft well on a thrust-faulted anticline near Khaur on the Potwar Plateau (Khan and others‚ 1986). Early success in the Kohat-Potwar geologic province served to focus much of the early exploration activity in that area. The Sui

For the past billion years eukaryotic cells have made up most organisms. There are several ways to compare and contrast prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Compare by size. Prokaryotic cells are significantly smaller than eukaryotic. In fact‚ eukaryotic cells are typically about ten times larger than prokaryotic

Layers of the Grand Canyon During the earliest periods of the Grand Canyon formation where we have Tapeats sand stone‚ bright angel shale and muav limestone it would appear that there was a relatively shallow‚ warm sea. This is indicated by the presence of Trilobite fossils found in this layer which thrived in that environment. Trilobites were early animals that had exoskeletons that are usually the only part of them that is preserved in the fossil record. They were marine bottom feeders who thrived

about fracking? Fracking is the industry that is natural gas being abstracted from shale rock. It’s hydraulic done by injecting fluid into the ground at a high pressure in order to get into the shale rock to release natural gas. Why does the industry do this? It is more wrongs than rights but the natural gas is a clean burning gas. Gas is environmentally good when it is burnt but when it is being abstracted from the shale rock is when it is bad. The causes to get the gas is a whole outcome has a big
