<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.

How do igneous rocks change into sedimentary rocks?
Alinara [238K]

The igneous rocks are the basic material for the formation of the two other rocks types, the sedimentary and metamorphic rocks. These rocks are the first that form. They form from the magma that has cooled inside the crust, or by the lava flows on the surface. Over time, the weathering and erosion start to break them apart little by little, creating sediments from them. These sediments are the founding block for the formation of the sedimentary rocks. Once these sediments are exposed to certain temperatures and pressures they start to become compact again, which is made possible through the cementation process that keeps them together. As more and more sediments are merged together, the sedimentary rocks are formed, and they can come in multiple different types, sizes, shapes, as well as compositions, and structures.
