Hydraulic fracturing is a process that Blank______.Multiple choice question.allows us to extract oil from conventional oil depositsreleases oil from "tight" geologic formationsuses the natural gas that is typically found on top of oil deposits

Hydraulic fracturing is:Question 9Select one:a.a first step in storage of high-level radioactive wasteb.a way of extracting natural gas shale formationsc.a step in oil refining where oil is separated into different viscositiesd.none of the above

Hydraulic fracturing is a process used by gas companies to rupture and collects pockets of gas trapped within pockets of shale rock. A particular shale fracking site is  in length and occupies an area of . How wide is this particular site?

Write the scientific term:1. A gas that is produced during the formation of oil and trapped inpockets within rock layers below the earth's surface.(............................)2. A process uses pressured fluids to break layers of shale rocks andforce out the trapped natural gas, which can be collected andtransported(............................)Put (true) or (false):1. Natural gas is also known as methane gas. ( )2. Fracking fluids are good for underground water. ( )3. Methane gas is one of the greenhouse gases that are good for theenvironment.( )Give a reason for each of the following:a) Natural gas burns cleaner than coal, yet it is considered a pollutant. Why?......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................b) Humans use the fracking process.......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................Topic 6 (L1) Page 297 – 298
