What type of rock contains gas that requires fracking to extract?
Granite
Limestone
Sandstone
Shale
How does the drilling process work in fracking?
The drill goes down then turns sideways through the shale
The drill creates multiple vertical holes

What are the small breaks in the rock called that release gas?
Cracks
Fissures
Gaps
Holes
Why haven't most Canadian regions allowed fracking?
