but if they get bigger they could destroy buildings or cause serious damage. These earthquakes are caused by horizontal hydraulic fracking‚ which is used to get oil and natural gas out of the earth.Until we can make sure that fracking is safe we should ban it. Fracking has a negative effect on the environment. Fracking turns natural environment into pads‚roads pipelines and other infrastructures.The clearance in Pennsylvania of forest have lead to an increase of pollution.(“The Cost of Fracking”).To

renewable energy Introduction In today’s world the most important thing human’s need is electricity. Without electricity most of the modern equipment would not work. Similarly fuel is needed to power transportation devices. Natural recourses such as coal‚ oil and natural gas are the basis for producing energy for all kinds of devices. Due to the extensive use of these resources they now face extinction. These resources are classified as non-renewable resources. In this report we will discuss different

Burning fossil fuels cause another type of air pollution that releases very small particles into the air. The three main forms of fossil fuels are natural gas‚ coal‚ and oil. Fossil fuels take millions of years to form‚ and are made by layers of organic matter made into sediments over time. Eighty percent of the world’s energy comes from fossil fuels (www.solcomhouse.com‚ 2/2/07). Crude oil is a dark

of domestic gas and oil. Over the past few years‚ advances in fracking creates fractures that extend from wells into oil and gas formations by pumping highly-pressurized fluid; water‚ sand‚ ceramic beads‚ and a mixture of chemicals into the oil or gas formation. As this fluid holds the underground fissures open‚ oil and gas flow up the well to the surface where they can be recovered. Over the past few years‚ advances in fracking technology have made tremendous reserves of natural gas in the United

Through Your Global Warming Essay The definition of Global warming is‚ “The observed and projected increase in the average temperature of Earth’s atmosphere and oceans”. Human actions‚ primarily the release of green house gases from smokestacks‚ vehicles‚ and burning forests‚ are perhaps the chief power causing this situation. CO2 (Carbon dioxide) emissions belong to the most important causes of global warming. In a Global Warming Essay the writer can mention: * Causes of Global Warming:
