Discuss the environmental impacts or gas fracking.

gas fracking is a process of drilling into the surface of the earth and injecting the rocks with a mixture of chemicals, sand and water at high pressure t release gas.

Explanation:

environmental impacts of gas fracking.

1. during fracking a chemical called methane is released into the atmosphere which is a greenhouse gas and thus pollutes the air

2. Fracking uses gallons of water. Thus, during this process a lot of water is wasted and that directly causes the shortage of clean and hygienic water available for the surrounding residents.

3. It is also a cause for soil degradation and soil pollution. fracking is a high risk potential for oil spill which degrades the soil. It also harms the vegetation around the fracking site.

4. Due to high pressure used during fracking, it may also cause natural disasters like earthquakes.

the tides are influenced by both the moon and the sun, it's easy to see that when the sun lines up with the moon and the earth, as during a new moon or full moon, the tidal effect is increased. these are known as spring tides, named not for the season, but for the fact that the water "springs" higher than normal. on the other hand, if the sun and the moon are 90 degrees apart in relation to an observer on earth as during the first quarter moon or third quarter moon, then high tides are not as high as they normally would be. this is because despite its greater distance, the sun's mass allows it to exert enough gravitational force on the oceans that it can negate some of the effects of the moon's pull. this phenomenon of lower high tides is called a neap tide. if you need more information on this topic visit moonconnection.com.
