Which elements do natural gas and air provide for ammonia process?
Natural gas, also known as methane, is a source of hydrogen, and air consists mainly of nitrogen, so the two can be used to form ammonia, which is a compound of nitrogen and hydrogen.
What is the natural source of hydrogen?
Sulfur
Is milk a natural source of sucrose?
No
What is the problem with using low-grade ores as a copper source?
The metal (copper) extracted may be generally brittle and break easily.
What is a carbon source and the process that releases carbon from that source?
plants, cellular respiration
Is natural gas nonrenewable or renewable?
Natural gas is a non-renewable resource. This is because as it is extracted from the source, it gets depleted.
What is shale energy?
Natural gas extracted from shale rock could become a significant global energy source.
What is the source of alkanes?
Alkanes come from natural gas & petroleum. They are extracted through distillation.Source (see Related Link below).
What is benefits of fracking?
Hydraulic Fracturing will allow America to produce more fuel domestically, thereby reducing our dependence on foreign oil. Additionally, fracking is one of the most popular way of producing natural gas, which can be used to power vehicles. Natural Gas vehicles produce 90% fewer emissions than cars powered by gasoline. Personally I think that if wells are drilled properly there isn't any cause for concern about damage to the environment. Source: http://www.hydraulicfracturing.com
How do you extract dyes from lichens?
Lichens are common source of Natural dyes. It is extracted by either boiling water or Ammonia fermentation. They are also yellow in color mostly.
What is the source of gasoline that cars run on?
The source is Crude oil. Gasoline is extracted by heating cude oil and collecting the vapor at a specific temperature. The condensate is gasoline. The process is known as 'Cracking' and may have other chemicals added, to make the process more efficient.
What is the source of gemstones metals and other materials used to make products?
Gemstones are natural products extracted from mines.But now some materials can be artificially produced; also imitations exist.
Is natural gas renewable nonrenewable or inexhaustible?
Natural gas is a non-renewable resource. This is because as it is extracted from the source, it gets depleted.
What is natural sources?
The sun is an example of a natural light source. A source which gives of light that is natural (not made by electricity) is a natural light source.

What are the positives of fracking?
Well simply it is a new source of oil/gas, that we have plenty of. It will mean that when we run out of oil from traps (the current way to get oil) we will have enough oil and gas to last us another 50 or more years (this is an estimate and to be truthful we still have know idea how much oil is available from fracking). Fracking will open up a load of new jobs. However this will just replace the old jobs of conventional oil/gas extraction. At first fracking will make oil and gas cheaper in the market. This is because if there is more oil there is less demand for it so prices go down. However when oil from fracking runs out, then we will be back at the same step as we are now. Fracking is not as bad as people make it out to be - if it is monitored and regulated. The only problem is who is going to do that, because at the moment it is done by the fracking companies. Do we know if they are telling the truth? For them profit is more important than the environment. However in my opinion I am still against fracking. And it is not water pollution and earthquakes that bother me but the environmental horizon if we choose to take the path of fracking (continuing to do fracking in America or starting to frack in the UK). The oil and gas from fracking is the same as it is from conventional oil extraction methods. I believe that fracking will become another excuse to look away from turning to eco-friendly energy sources. Fracking may become another short term cop-out for the government's energy crisis but in the long term it is just destroying the environment with global warming. Sorry if the last question was off topic but I wanted to give another view to the truth of fracking.
