For many years man have used hydraulic fracturing in order to stimulate the flow of natural resources in the earth's crust to process them into a useable supply for our everyday needs. The United States is currently known as the number one leading nation with the most natural gas resources due to hydraulic fracturing being a native technology. Although the thought behind this activity was to further our lives, this drilling practice has raised some questions among society with its potential…

Past VS Future: The Dakota Access Pipeline The Dakota Access is a pipeline that will carry 7.4 billion barrels of oil a day to be used from North Dakota to Illinois. The pipe will run under 22 bodies of water, and one of them is Lake Oahu in South Dakota. Lake Oahu is the main water source for the Standing Rock Reservation, and the Native Americans living there worry the pipe might pollute the lake and disrupt sacred burial grounds. The Dakota Access will provide us oil in places where we need…

Texas has actually decreased water consumption and saved water. Since Texas has gotten rid of coal-fired power plant, which consume lots of water, and switched to the natural gas it saves more water. This article states that by fracking, natural gas production is boosting, and making the electric power system more drought resistant. “Researchers estimate that water saved by shifting a power plant from coal to Natural Gas is 25 to 50 times as great as the amount of water used to extract the…

A deep-sea hydrothermal vent is one of the harshest places to live on earth. This is due to the pitch darkness, heavy metals, extreme acidity, poison gas and the enormous pressure. Sunlight penetrates no further than a few hundred feet down which means the deep-sea floor is as dark as a deep cave. There are no plants due to no sunlight and all the vent life belong to the animal kingdom. Due to there being no plants there is no photosynthesis. These organisms rely on a process called…

that include sulfur, eg the production of electrical energy from fossil fuels, oil or gas that contains sulfur. A few mineral ores also include sulfur, and sulfur dioxide, which is released when burnt. In addition, industrialized activities that uses coal as fuel contains sulfur and is vital sources [1]. Sulfur dioxide is released due to thermal power plants, as the consequence of fuel combustion. In the earlier period, power plant exhaust was a significant, but not the major, basis of sulfur…

This paper will examine the Firefighter’s Turnout Jacket and what it does to protect the Firefighter. The Turnout Coat is a very interesting piece of equipment, as it has changed throughout history.

The everyday Firefighter has in one shape or another type of personal protective jacket that protects them from the very toxic and chemical debris…

I believe that storing nuclear waste is a good idea because there is many reasons why. I am going to explain these reasons. There is many pros about storing nuclear waste in Hanford, Washington, which is where I chose is best to store nuclear waste in. I think we should store nuclear waste in Hanford, Washington. I believe that Hanford, Washington is best because there isn’t a lot of rain there. The is only about 8 inches per a year so that is good because if there is a lot of rain the rain will…

rivers to being the primary choice of Naval powers across the globe. Due to its flexibility in the water, steam ships were prized for being able to go against the current and wind. The downside to the steam ship was that it required constant fuel, coal being the main source. This made it difficult to refuel, eventually leading to a search for new a new, more efficient, source of fuel. The transition from sails to steamers originally came about from the difficulty of navigating rivers. River…
