the fractures are caused they release the gases that are being mined for. The main reason why fracking is used is to mine for natural gases. Fracking is where 40-56% of the natural gases come from. http://www.what-is-fracking.com/what-is-hydraulic-fracturing/ Fracking isn’t the best type of mining because there are very many environmental and health damages that are at risk of using this type. Some of the many environmental damages are; contamination of groundwater‚ air pollution‚ exposure

The film‚ Gasland‚ is ineffective at presenting an adequate argument of how hydraulic fracturing --fracking-- is harmful to the environment or people around it. Gasland is a faux home video --documentary-- by an ‘average’ guy‚ Josh Fox who is living in the woods in pennsylvania‚ that is trying to convince the viewer that fracking is going to be harmful and overall bad in every way to the environment. He goes around and interviews homeowners in an area called Dimock‚ Pennsylvania. Dimock has had

I feel very fortunate to live in the South Eastern corner of Minnesota. It is a beautiful and unique area approximately in the middle of what is known as the Driftless area. As you can see by the topographical map that this part of the Midwest has a ruff terrain. High bluffs surrounding the Mississippi River and hills with narrow valleys are tucked between them. This area is said to be unglaciated. The bedrock supporting the bluffs mainly contains limestone‚ sandstone and shale. The area around

April 15‚ 2012 Introduction For many centuries‚ countries including the United States have been searching for new ways to obtain an alternate source of energy. During the 1940’s‚ Hydraulic fracking (hydrofracking) or horizontal well drilling became the method of choice for obtaining natural gas. According to the 2010‚ report Fueling North America’s Energy

We can be harmed by a source called Hydraulic Fracturing. Hydraulic Fracturing contains hazardous chemicals‚ into the ground along with water and sand at high pressures. It can have a different amount of pros and cons that can help us understand more of what it does and how does it affect us. Hydraulic Fracturing can cause a lot of damage and that is why I think that I am against for hydraulic fracturing. I am against hydraulic fracturing because hydraulic fracturing can cause damages‚ problems

industry. Hydraulic fracturing is the process by which natural gas is extracted from the earth’s shales. The process begins with drilling through several layers of the earth‚ like the freshwater aquifer. Next‚ water with “fracking fluid” is injected into the drilled area to crack the shale. This water comes back up to the surface and is put into a pit to evaporate. The natural gas flows up‚ and is then stored. The process is simple enough‚ but so are the consequences. Hydraulic fracturing has
