Fracking Hydraulic fracturing‚ also known as fracking‚ is the process of removing once unattainable natural gas from shale formation deep underground. The fracking process was developed by Halliburton in the 1940s as a technique to stimulate gas well production. Vertical holes are drilled deep into the subsurface of the ground‚ and horizontal extensions are drilled at the bottom of the well at an average depth of 8000 feet. Once the holes are drilled‚ water is mixed with chemicals and

Due to the discovery of shock metamorphism rocks (suevite breccia) and melted original rocks scattering in the southern area of Bukit Bunuh‚ it was suspected that the area had the possibility of being impacted by meteorite. The founded boulders made the archaeologists from the Centre for Global Archaeological Research (CGAR) of Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) to propose of the possibility of Bukit Bunuh as a meteorite impact site. This proposal was led to intense research in the area by utilizing

the injury. There are five ways to classify sports injuries. These include direct and indirect injuries‚ soft and hard tissue injuries and overuse injuries. A direct injury is caused by an external blow or force. In the case of a female athlete fracturing her femur‚ a direct injury could be the cause‚ but isn’t the most likely one. For example‚ if the female athlete was playing hockey‚ she may have been struck by an opponent or own team mate with the hockey stick in the femur causing her to fracture

(Shaffer‚ “The United States” 135). The domestication of energy is the production and consumption of energy from resources found in the home country. Domestic energy can occur from petroleum reserves on public and private lands‚ from using hydraulic fracturing of shale to make gas‚ and from the use of renewable resources. It is needed because of how it gives economic stability and securable energy for the citizens of the home country. The domestication of energy and how to produce it is an emerging

WHAT IS ARSENIC Arsenic is a chemical element with symbol As and atomic number 33. Arsenic occurs in many minerals‚ usually in conjunction with sulfur and metals‚ and also as a pure elemental crystal. The main use of metallic arsenic is for strengthening alloys of copper and especially lead (for example‚ in car batteries). Arsenic is a common n-type dopant in semiconductor electronic devices‚ and the optoelectronic compound gallium arsenide is the most common semiconductor in use after doped silicon

Water Pollution Part II Amanda Norris Groundwater Pollution pg. 502: Describe : Groundwater is the water we drink. Few countries go to the great expense of locating‚ tracking‚ and testing aquifers. Volatile organic chemicals (VOCs) contaminate 90% of the U.S. aquifers‚ but 2% of samples had unsafe VOC levels. The US found that ⅓of the 26k industrial waste ponds didn’t have liners to prevent toxic liquid wastes from seeping into aquifers. The EPA had completed the cleanup of 297k of the 436k underground

There a tremendous secret‚ or scheme some may say‚ that computer companies do not want to tell their customers when there is a need to replace a particular part for your personal laptop. The secret that major computer companies do not want to induce to the population is that they outrageously overcharge people to replace a fractured on a laptop that could be easily done by a non-professional. For instance‚ major companies like Dell and HP would approximately charge their customers between 100-300

Module: 121 Natural Resources Assignment Questions and Answers 1. Why do people still use Non-Renewable Natural Resources even though they have many issues. Explain with some examples. Non-Renewable Resources are the resources that cannot be reproduced/grown/generated or used scale which can sustain its consumption. Eg: Coal because it gets exhausted and long time to reform. When we use them and some other examples are LPG/nuclear/natural gas and fossil fuel are natural gas and nuclear energy
