Fracking is name given to the artificially induced fracturing of layers of rock to release gas or oil in order for it to be collected. High pressure liquids are pumped into boreholes in order to achieve the fractures.
Hydraulic fractures occur naturally due to the build up of pressure within layers of rock.
Fracking means the process of injecting liquid at high pressure into subterranean rocks, boreholes, etc., so as to force open existing fissures and extract oil or gas.
Fracking, which is the process of pumping an agent into a well under pressure, is not performed correctly there is a possibility of contamination of the ground water.
"Fracking", short for "hydraulic fracturing", is usually applied to natural deposits of the kind of rock known as shale to recover petroleum or natural gas trapped in the shale.
Fracking refers to the process of drilling down into the earth before releasing a high pressure water mixture that is directed at the rock to release the gas inside. It is controversial because of the environmental concerns that it possesses.
Fracking is done all over the world.
Fracking is a way of obtaining gas from rocks underground
No. Fracking can cause earthquakes if the fluid gets into faults. Tornadoes are caused by thunderstorms, which are not affected by fracking in any way.
Water pollution is the major controversy that surrounds fracking.
Yes, fracking can harm the water supply.
Executives and scientists have never really discussed if they have their family drinking the water in the fracked areas.
The process for extracting natural gas is hydraulic fracturing also referred to as "fracking". In this process rock is drilled in to deep enough to hit the natural gases, and pump them for extraction.
Fracking is not energy. It is a method of getting oil out of shale underground.
Something called fracking is causing earthquakes. Fracking is a way to remove oil and natural gas from underground. Hydraulic fracturing, or fracking (a drilling process that injects millions of gallons of water, sand and chemicals under high pressure into a well, cracking the rock and to release natural gas and oil) is sometimes the cause of earthquakes.
