How do scientists determine locations for drilling for natural gas? Where are many natural gas drill sites located? (Site 2)

Explanation:

By drilling several cores miles apart , geologist can correlate the rock units and create an image what exists and where below the surface.

Combining this information with rocks exposed to the surface , which can gives clues about rock orientation below, can be a powerful tool to locating oil and gas .

a rain shadow is a dry region of land on the side that is protected against the prevailing winds of a mountain range. the prevailing winds are the winds that occur most of the time in a particular place of the earth

prevailing winds carry air toward the mountain range. as the air rises up over a mountain range, the air cools, water vapor condenses, and clouds form. on this side of the mountains, called the windward side, precipitation falls in the form of  rain  or snow. this dry air produces a  rain shadow.
