What is the process of?
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.
How do you release the wire from a fluorescent tube lamp holder?
Where the wire is held in the holder you will see a small round hole. Insert a small nail into it and push inward. This will release the spring that holds the wire. Pull on the wire and it will come out. Now you can release the pressure on the small nail to let the internal spring return to its original position.
What kind of plate boundary occurs in California?
California is a transform plate boundary. That means it is a convergent boundary that is strike-slipping past each plate to release pressure. Near San Francisco area, there is a portion of the Juan De Fuca plate which is subducting under the North American Plate. It has almost completed a total subduction
Does hydraulic fracturing release green house gases?
If a well is capped improperly or the cement casing around a well cracks, then yes, small amounts of methane can escape into the Atmosphere. Methane is harmless to people unless is it concentrated in a small space. Methane is a far greater Green-house Gas than CO2. The natural gas companies get from hydraulic fracturing is used in part to power Natural Gas Cars and other vehicles, which can have 90% fewer greenhouse emissions that cars that run on gasoline. Companies that use Hydrofracking have a responsibility to the people around the wells and the environment as a whole. If a well is drilled improperly then, in the long term, natural gas drilling [FRACKING] can actually help reduce our carbon footprint while at the same time increasing our 'Uranium in Nature' footprint.
What are the 4 stages of elastic rebound hypothesis?
1) zero stress on elastic material/it's at original position 2) stress is applied/deformation occurs 3) release of energy (earthquake) 4) elastic material rebounds

Seismic Waves
What is fracturing in gas well?
When drilling a gas well, fracturing is the process of forcing a dense liquid into the rock to break it up (fracture it) and thus release the gas and make it more readily collected.

Vibrations caused by rocks breaking and moving as a result af a sudden release of energy?
Vibrations caused by rocks breaking and moving as a result of a sudden release of energy is called an Earthquake. By the movement of plate boundaries, depending how it moved, is how strong the Earthquake will be.
