<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.

Eastern Europe is a region that has a negative demographic trends. The population is going down, and there isn't a single country of this region that actually has a positive population growth. There are several reasons as to why this is happening. One of the main factors in the migration, as these countries are developing countries and they don't offer high wages and good living conditions, lot of people migrate in Western Europe and North America. Because the economy of these countries is not the best, the people are afraid about their future, so they choose to have one or two children tops, as they are not sure will they be able to afford to have more. The availability of the birth control also had its impact, as the women can be sexually active but not be afraid that they will get pregnant when they don't want to.
