How is natural gas harvested?
Natural gas is harvested through a process called hydraulic fracturing, also known as fracking. This method involves drilling deep into the ground to extract the natural gas trapped in shale rock formations. Hydraulic fracturing uses a combination of water, sand, and chemicals to break apart the rock and release the gas.
What are the vibrations called when rocks break?
The vibrations that occur when rocks break are called seismic waves. These waves are generated by the sudden release of energy during rock fractures and can travel through the Earth, causing earthquakes.
What leads to earthquakes along a fault?
Earthquakes occur along a fault when there is a sudden release of built-up stress in the Earth's crust. This stress is caused by tectonic plate movement, which leads to the rocks along the fault slipping past each other, generating seismic waves. The sudden release of energy during this movement is what causes the ground to shake and results in an earthquake.
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.
Why did the ground and the buildings shake?
The ground and buildings shake primarily due to seismic activity, such as earthquakes, which occur when tectonic plates shift and release energy. This sudden release generates seismic waves that propagate through the Earth, causing vibrations. Additionally, human activities like construction, mining, or explosions can also create localized shaking. These vibrations can lead to structural damage or even collapse if the intensity is strong enough.
When fracturing and slipping into new positions rocks along the fault release energy in the form of vibrations called?
Seismic Waves
What is the breaking of rocks that causes vibrations in Earth?
The breaking of rocks that causes vibrations in Earth is known as rock fracturing or rock faulting. This typically occurs due to stress and pressure within the Earth's crust, leading to the release of stored energy in the form of seismic waves. These vibrations are what we feel during earthquakes.

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.
