NARA [144]3 years ago

<u>Answer:</u>  

The natural gas is harnessed from the Marcellus Shale by using the technique of hydraulic fracturing.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • The Marcellus Shale is a sedimentary rock about 7,000 to 12,000 feet below the Earth's surface lying beneath the states of New York, West Virginia, Ohio and Pennsylvania.
  • It is one of the world's richest deposits of natural gas. To extract the natural gas from this shale, the technique of hydraulic fracturing is used in which the Earth is drilled vertically and hydraulic agents like water and other chemicals are introduced into the Earth's surface at high pressure, forcing the gas to rise up to the surface.

Both vertical and horizontal Marcellus Shale wells produce marketable quantities of natural gas. The drilling process focuses first on reaching – and protecting – water-bearing zones beneath the ground. This allows for the extraction of larger quantities of natural gas from a single wellhead.

Which characteristics describe deep ocean currents? Check all that apply.
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

Options (1), (3), (4) and (5)

Explanation:

The deep ocean water refers to the water that is present at the bottom of the ocean. This deep water is highly dense, and are rich in essential nutrients including oxygen. Sunlight cannot penetrate into the deeper layer, as a result of which these water remains much colder and moves at a much slower rate in comparison to the surface waves. These deep ocean currents are generated by the density differences due to two factors namely, temperature and salinity.

These currents are moved from the equatorial region to the poles and again comes back from the poles to the equator, forming a circular pattern. This circulation of water is responsible for the various climatic conditions that occur at different places.

Thus, the correct answers are mentioned above.

Ozone located in the __________ is considered good for Earth, because it protects us from the sun’s harmful ultraviolet radiatio
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

Stratosphere

Explanation:

Yes, the ozone is a triatomic molecule that is composed of various oxygen molecules and which are broken by the sunlight to the formation of ozone layer this layer is found in abundance in the Stratosphere the layer above the tropopause that is the region where mixing stops. This layer extends from 30 to 60 kilometers in the stratosphere that absorbs the harmful radioactive substance and also the UV rays that can penetrate the earth and could have caused damage to the life forms on the planet. To date, continuous use and abuse of CFC gas produced by the air conditioners and the methane gas that is a natural greenhouse gas has caused a whole over the arctic circle and part of Russia. The low layers of ozone have been completely depleted due to imbalance of active carbon particles and pollutant matter in the atmosphere the air over the industrial district of china and India is itself an example. Impact of ozone UVa and UVB can be seen in high latitudes but of them, most harmful UVc is restricted by this layer and due to the quality deterioration of ozone is poses grave threats in future

What are the characteristic of Alluvial soil​
Katyanochek1 [597]
Most of the soil is Sandy and clayey soils are not uncommon. Pebbly and gravelly soils are rare. Kankar (calcareous concretions) beds are present in some regions along the river terraces. The soil is porous because of its loamy (equal proportion of sand and clay) nature

Do you think is it good for Pakistanis to have immigrants ?
koban [17]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Migration may lead to an improvement in income distribution because labor exodus may generate tight labor market conditions in supplying areas, resulting in increased wages of rural workers. The evidence of Pakistan tended to support this.
